SN74LS06DR

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74LS06DR is a hex inverter buffer and driver from the Texas Instruments 74LS series. It features six independent inverters with open-collector outputs housed in a 14-pin SOIC package. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V. Key electrical parameters include a low-level output current of 40 mA, a propagation delay of 20 ns at 5 V with 15 pF load, and a maximum power dissipation of 175 mW. It supports surface-mount installation and functions across an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Contains six independent inverting channels for signal inversion applications
• Provides high-drive capability through open-collector outputs suitable for interfacing with higher voltage loads
• Utilizes standard Low-power Schottky (LS) TTL logic technology for reliable digital switching

Inverter Gates Applications

• Driving relays, lamps, or solenoids via open-collector interface
• Connecting logic circuits to high-voltage bus lines
• General-purpose digital signal inversion in industrial control systems

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'DR' confirms the tape-and-reel packaging format and SOIC-14 surface mount package. Ensure the order matches the LS logic family requirements rather than standard or HCT variants. Confirm RoHS compliance status as per the latest manufacturer documentation before finalizing procurement specifications.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when six inverted outputs are required with open-collector drive capabilities. It is appropriate for designs needing compatibility with standard 5V TTL logic levels while requiring the flexibility to switch external loads exceeding standard CMOS limits. Consider thermal dissipation constraints given the 175 mW power rating during operation.
