Hi all,
A simple question needing a simple answer.
I did have a ULN2003A driving a small stepper, but I had to swap this chip onto another project so it has left me with no driver for the stepper. The question is can the ULN2803A step in its place, I know its an 18 pin package and the ULN2003A is a 16 pin package, if it is placed in the 16 pin socket with pins 1 and 18 not in, would it still work like the ULN2003A????? I have it wired up as per the manual 3 page 16, any ideas, apart from buying some ULN2003A's as I have about 20 ULN2803A's to hand.
