Logic Level Compatibility

I'm working on a project that uses an ATMEGA32L uC (3.3V supply) and requires a couple high current outputs. To accomodate the requirement of the outputs I'd like to use a ULN2003A darlington transistor array but my concern is that the logic levels of the ATMEGA32L and ULN2003A aren't completely compatible (VOH in particular). Since I'm just a beginner, would somebody mind commenting on the compatibility between the outputs of the ATMEGA32L (3.3V supply) and the inputs of the ULN2003A?

Thanks
 
You should have no problems. VI(on) for ULN2003A is
2.4V max @ Ic=200mA
2.7V max @ Ic=250mA
3.0V max at Ic=300mA.
 
Thank you for confirming that for me. I appreciate you taking the time to look at those datasheets.
