Richard,

Neither you, me or the OP is going to think that a ULN2803 has a maximum current of 10mA. The Texas ULN2803 data sheet does not even use IOL as a name. Nor does the ST datasheet. That parameter does physically exist, though.

I also qualified my remark. I am sure you may know of a super high current 8051. However I doubt if there are any that match the ULN2803 500mA rating.

David.

Allrightallready! ... I'm sorry ... I didn't interpret your writing as you intended. It's apparent, though, that the O/P didn't read the '2803 datasheet, or look at its circuit diagram, else he'd have recognized that you can't sink 4 A through a 10 mA sink.
