SN74LS06NE4

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74LS06NE4 is a hex inverter buffer and driver featuring open-collector high-voltage outputs. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V, with a rated output voltage of 30 V. The device provides a low-level output current (IOL) capability of up to 40 mA at VCC = MIN. Typical propagation delay is 8 ns, with maximum values of 20 ns for tPHL and 15 ns for tPLH under standard test conditions (RL=110 Ω, CL=15 pF). It utilizes a 14-pin PDIP package.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'E4' indicates compliance with RoHS standards and lead finish specifications. Confirm that the component status is listed as Active Production. Ensure the package type matches the required 14-pin through-hole configuration for your PCB layout.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when TTL-to-MOS voltage level conversion is required. The open-collector architecture allows for flexible pull-up voltages up to 30 V. Verify that the 40 mA sink current meets load requirements. Consider unused inputs must be tied to VCC or GND to prevent undefined states.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the SNx4LS06 family of hex inverters with open-collector outputs. It is compatible with most TTL families. The 'N' suffix denotes the PDIP package, while 'E4' typically signifies environmental compliance. It serves as a bridge between standard logic levels and higher voltage/current loads.
