#140064 - not really
Responding to: ???'s previous message
so, in order to provide a collector current of about 1 ampere, you must provide a base current of about 1 mA. The 805x, in nearly any version, should be capable of providing that much current at its outputs.

not really, the ULN darlington requires a Vin of ~3V and no 'traditional' '51 can provide 1 mA at 3V. If you use a traditional '51 you will need either (recommended) a HC inverter or (second choice) pull-up resistors.

Why do I not recommend pull-ups for this "it will work"?. When operating with motor drivers you often (especially during developement) get some huge 'kickback' (ground bounce or other nasty things) and a HC can take much more abuse than a '51.

another advantage of using an inverter is that the motor coild will not be energized during reset.

PS why do you use a discontinued chip?
