SN7417NSRG4

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN7417NSRG4 is a hex buffer and driver featuring open-collector high-voltage outputs, manufactured by Texas Instruments. It belongs to the standard logic family and is housed in a 14-pin SOIC surface-mount package. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and supports a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. Key electrical characteristics include an output low-level current capability of 40 mA at VOL = 0.7 V and an output high-level current of 0.25 mA at VOH = 15 V. The component has a maximum propagation delay of 30 ns at 5 V with a 50 pF load.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Provides six independent buffer/driver channels with open-collector outputs capable of handling high-voltage loads up to 15 V.
• Facilitates direct interface between TTL input levels and MOS logic families or other high-voltage circuits.
• Offers significant sink current capability to drive external indicators or relay coils directly.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• TTL-to-MOS level translation interfaces
• Driving high-voltage indicator lamps or LEDs
• Relay driver circuits requiring open-collector switching

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'G4' indicates lead-free and RoHS compliance status according to the manufacturer's latest documentation. Confirm the package marking and pinout alignment for the SOIC-14 footprint during PCB layout. Ensure the design accounts for the open-collector nature, which requires external pull-up resistors for proper high-state operation.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing standard TTL logic with higher voltage loads or MOS inputs that exceed standard 5 V thresholds. The open-collector architecture allows flexibility in selecting the pull-up voltage, making it suitable for mixed-voltage systems. Verify that the required sink current does not exceed the specified 40 mA limit under worst-case thermal conditions.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part is part of the SN7417 series of hex buffers and drivers. It serves as a bridge between low-voltage digital logic and higher-voltage analog or power loads. The open-collector output structure distinguishes it from standard push-pull drivers, enabling voltage level shifting capabilities beyond the supply rail.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The SN7417N is a comparable through-hole DIP variant offering identical logical functionality and pinout. Other open-collector hex drivers from different manufacturers may require verification of voltage ratings and current limits before substitution.
