SN7407NE4

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN7407NE4 is a hex buffer and driver featuring open-collector high-voltage outputs. It converts TTL voltage levels to MOS levels and drives high-current loads like indicator lamps. The device has a minimum breakdown voltage of 30 V and a maximum sink current of 40 mA. Inputs are fully compatible with most TTL circuits and include diode clamping to minimize transmission-line effects. Typical power dissipation is 145 mW, with an average propagation delay time of 14 ns.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'E' indicates lead-free status and RoHS compliance as per Texas Instruments documentation. Confirm the package type corresponds to the PDIP (N) variant with 14 pins. Ensure the supply voltage remains within the recommended operating conditions of 4.75 V to 5.25 V for proper functionality. Check for any recent product life cycle changes or obsolescence notices directly from the manufacturer before finalizing procurement.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing TTL logic with higher voltage MOS circuits or driving loads requiring up to 30 V tolerance. The open-collector output structure allows for wired-AND configurations and level shifting. Consider the 40 mA sink current capacity for driving multiple inputs or moderate loads. Verify that the 0°C to 70°C operating temperature range meets the environmental requirements of the target application.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

The SN7407NE4 belongs to the SNx407 family of hex buffers and drivers with open-collector high-voltage outputs. It is part of the standard SN74 series, designed for commercial temperature ranges. This family performs the Boolean function Y = A in positive logic. The device serves as a bridge between low-voltage digital logic and higher-voltage analog or power stages.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

SN7407N is a direct equivalent without the E suffix. SN7407DR offers the same functionality in a SOIC package. SN5407 provides military-grade specifications with a wider temperature range.
