 		 #163517 - Turning off ULN2803 Output
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Richard Erlacher said:
If you wish to control the ON/OFF state of the drivers with GND, you can do that, but your circuit driving GND must be capable of sinking whatever current flows in all 8 darlingtons.


I tried to control(turn on/off) the output of uln2803 with 8051 via the ground, i connected the GND of ULN2803 to pin P1.7 of 8051, I am able to turn on/off ULN2803, is this circuit safe enough? I plan to use this circuit in a 5-character 2-color moving led dotmatrix display .

      It is not available here in India            01/01/70 00:00      
         I'm confused...            01/01/70 00:00      
         What would happen if ...            01/01/70 00:00      
            Or Maybe I make my own IC            01/01/70 00:00      
               before you make your own IC            01/01/70 00:00

                     For one chip ?            01/01/70 00:00      
                        It is a special kind of service they offer for students            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Go ahead ... Give them a try!            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Sorry, but I doubt this...            01/01/70 00:00      
                        asked, at least 3 times            01/01/70 00:00      
                           I have not measured it yet            01/01/70 00:00

                                       Then you don't need the 2803 at all!            01/01/70 00:00

                                             Why not look at a datasheet?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                             NOW, that you FINALLY answer the question            01/01/70 00:00

                                          in light of the original poster's other threads ...            01/01/70 00:00      
               Bing, what current has to flow?            01/01/70 00:00      
               You might have a bit of trouble with that.            01/01/70 00:00
