Constant Current Generation
When configured as per Figure 5 the ULN2003LV outputs OUT1-OUT6 act as independent constant current
sources. The current flowing through the resistor R1 is copied on all other channels. To increase the current
sourcing connect several output channels in parallel. To ensure best current copying set voltage drop across
connected load such that VOUTx matches to VOUT7.
