USB-6008 Current Limitation

Solved!
Go to solution

I am using the USB-6008 device in a new application to first read the analog values and then fire solenoids based on the readings.  The current limitation on the USB-6008 is 8.5 ma as per the specs and the device I want to drive is rated 5v at 38 ma.  Does anyone know of an application to increase the output of the USB-6008, such as with a transistor or analog switch?

Regards,

You can use one of the ULN2xxx relay drivers.
