Precisely to control motors, for two main reasons &#8211; first, microcontrollers are circuits that usually operate on very low voltages such as 1.8V (BeagleBoard), 3.3V<a href=\"https:\/\/botland.com.pl\/399-raspberry-pi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">(Raspberry Pi<\/a>), 5V<a href=\"https:\/\/botland.com.pl\/arduino-seria-podstawowa-oryginalne-plytki\/1060-arduino-uno-rev3-a000066-7630049200050.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">(Arduino UNO R3<\/a>), while electric motors controlled from these microcontrollers require power supply with higher voltages, such as 9V, 12V or 24V.   <\/p>\n<p>Secondly, electric motors are inductive loads that generate back-polarized electromotive force during winding switching, with values many times exceeding the voltage ratings of the power supply for these motors, which can lead to damage to the microcontroller controlling the motor. For these reasons, we use <strong>driver circuits<\/strong> that mediate between the microcontroller and the motor. We can find many solutions of this type in the form of integrated circuits, and one of them is the <a href=\"https:\/\/botland.com.pl\/elektronika\/189-uklad-scalony-uln2003-7xdarlington-smd-5szt-5904422355449.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><strong>ULN2003<\/strong><\/a>.    <\/p>\n<p>If we look at the technical documentation of this IC, we can see that the single output of this chip can handle voltages <strong>up to 50V<\/strong> and has a continuous current output of <strong>up to 500mA<\/strong>. For these reasons, this chip is great for controlling small electric motors. We can also use this circuit to control larger electric motors, but here it will be necessary to use additional intermediate relays &#8211; in this case the microcontroller sends a signal to the ULN2003 driver, which drives signals in <strong>the form of voltages applied to the coils of relays<\/strong> whose current circuits (working contacts) are connected to motors &#8211; it should be remembered that the coil of the relay is also inductive and generates overvoltages during switching off. Thus, we can use various types of inductive loads such as motors, relays, contactors, electromagnets and other inductive components together with the ULN2003 circuit.   <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f4ca476 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f4ca476\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Parameters of the ULN2003 integrated circuit<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-f0d5b3c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f0d5b3c\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-5de61c9\" data-id=\"5de61c9\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2912975 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2912975\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/botland.com.pl\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/00189_1_kwadrat.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"00189_1_kwadrat\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6OTM5MDAsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9ib3RsYW5kLnN0b3JlXC9ibG9nXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDI0XC8xMFwvMDAxODlfMV9rd2FkcmF0LmpwZyJ9\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/botland.store\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/00189_1_kwadrat-1024x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-93900\" alt=\"ULN2003 7xDarlington IC - SMD - 5St\u00fcck\" srcset=\"https:\/\/botland.store\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/00189_1_kwadrat-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/botland.store\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/00189_1_kwadrat-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/botland.store\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/00189_1_kwadrat-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/botland.store\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/00189_1_kwadrat.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">ULN2003 7xDarlington IC - SMD - 5pcs.<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6947adb elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"6947adb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/botland.com.pl\/elektronika\/189-uklad-scalony-uln2003-7xdarlington-smd-5szt-5904422355449.html\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">CHECK<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-84cebd4\" data-id=\"84cebd4\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d612369 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d612369\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The ULN2003 IC is housed <strong>in a 16-pin package<\/strong>, with both SMD and THT versions available.
