The ULQ2004A is a four-channel, 12-bit, 40-volt MOS digital driver array, which is specially designed for driving unipolar, bipolar and MOS heaters, buzzers, relays and lamps. It is particularly suitable for machine tools, automotive applications, roadside assistance, mobile communications, medical and consumer electronics.

The ULQ2004A contains four independent 12-bit drivers, each capable of driving 12-bit/40-volt loads. The data is stored in a serial input/output register for each channel, allowing multiple register access without significant power dissipation. The outputs are capable of sinking or sourcing up to 15mA. The ULQ2004A is designed to be integrated into a range of digital signal processor (DSP)-based automotive applications.

The ULQ2004A can be used in conjunction with the ULQ2004A\'s power management functions to ensure that current is applied evenly to each circuit, resulting in a more efficient use of system resources. Furthermore, the ULQ2004A\'s self-calibration feature optimises the performance of any circuit connected to it and ensures that the peak current is delivered to each channel consistently.

The ULQ2004A\'s working principle involves the use of a four channel, 12-bit digital driver array consisting of transistors in the form of basic bipolar junction transistors (BJTs). The four BJTs are used in an array configuration to provide a steady current flow to the load. Each transistor is connected to the ground and has its own Vcc voltage source, which is connected to the output. The outputs of the transistor array are connected to a shift register that stores the data. A clock pulse is then used to transfer the data from the shift register to the transistors, thereby controlling the current flow to the load.

The ULQ2004A features open drain outputs, which are beneficial for powering multiple low-power devices such as relays, lamps, buzzers and heaters. An external circuit, such as piezo driver or a voltage source, is needed to drive the load directly in this case. Furthermore, the ULQ2004A is optimized for low power consumption, resulting in battery operated applications with extended battery life.

The ULQ2004A provides a high-speed, low-power, integrated solution for controlling both AC and DC loads. It is suitable for automotive applications because of its digitalized design and robust tolerance to any environment. The ULQ2004A also provides digital feedback solutions, which makes it a great option for automotive and consumer electronics visual feedback applications. Furthermore, the ULQ2004A works well with a variety of DSPs and microcontrollers, facilitating easy integration into existing systems.

In conclusion, the ULQ2004A is a trustworthy and high-performance, low-power digital driver array for applications involving bipolar/unipolar/MOS heaters, buzzers, relays and lamps. It is suitable for a variety of automotive and consumer electronics applications, possessing the ability to provide digital feedback solutions and work with a plethora of DSPs and microcontrollers.
