DM7417N

Overview

The DM7417N is a hex buffer featuring high voltage open-collector outputs, housed in a 14-lead Plastic Dual-In-Line (PDIP) package. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75V to 5.25V and supports an output voltage up to 15V. The device provides a low-level output current capability of 40mA. Propagation delays are specified at 10ns for LOW-to-HIGH transitions and 30ns for HIGH-to-LOW transitions under standard test conditions.

Feature Summary

• Contains six independent buffer gates performing logical buffering functions
• Features high voltage open-collector outputs requiring external pull-up resistors
• Supports operation with output voltages up to 15V

Applications

• Interface circuits requiring level shifting between different voltage domains
• Driving loads such as relays or lamps that operate above standard logic levels
• Connecting bus lines where wired-OR logic functionality is required

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin, as this component was originally produced by Fairchild Semiconductor and later acquired by onsemi. Confirm the specific package variant matches the N14A designation for the 14-lead PDIP form factor. Ensure compliance with any applicable life support policies if intended for critical systems, as explicit written approval may be required.

Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing standard TTL logic with higher voltage loads or when driving multiple inputs from a single source. The open-collector architecture allows for flexible pull-up resistor selection to match specific load requirements. Consider the 40mA sink current capability when designing for heavier loads compared to standard logic buffers.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 74-series logic family, specifically designed for digital buffering applications. It serves as a bridge between low-voltage control signals and higher-voltage peripheral devices. The hex configuration allows for processing six separate signal lines simultaneously within a single integrated circuit package.
