The saturated (non-Darlington) NPN outputs provide low collectoremitter voltage drops as well as improved turn-off times due to an active pull-down function within the output predrive section. The UDN2596A is for use with output loads to 500 mA while the UDN2597A is for use with loads to 1 A. Adjacent outputs may be paralleled for higher load currents. Inputs require very low input current and are activated by a low logic level consistent with the much greater sinking capability associated with NMOS, CMOS, and TTL logic. The UDN2596A and UDN2597A are rated for use with 5 V logic levels. Dwg. No. W-100
