ULN2803 Darlington Flyback diodes

Post by Jim2386 »

https://www.adafruit.com/product/970

Just wondering, if I use this IC with solenoids or other high inductance devices, do I need to include a flyback diode anywhere or does the chip take care of it? It appears there are flyback diodes already built into the chip. Just wanted to confirm with someone who is way smarter than I :)

Thanks
Jim
