Low voltage capable ULN2003LV from TI for relay driving

The new ULN2003LV from Texas Instruments is a seven-channel relay driver supporting low-voltage relays from as low as 1.8 V up to 5 V. ULN2003LV features input resistor capacitor (RC) snubber, internal input pull-down resistor for a tri-state logic, and low power consumption. The 1.8-V to 5-V CMOS logic input interface is compatible with a wider range of microcontrollers and other logic interfaces.

Availability, packaging and pricing: The ULN2003LV is available in 10-mm x 4-mm, 16-pin SOIC and 5.1-mm x 4.5-mm, 16-pin TSSOP packages. Suggested retail pricing in 100-unit quantities is $0.15.
