SN74LS06NSR

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74LS06NSR is a hex inverter buffer and driver from the Texas Instruments 74LS logic family. It features six independent inverters with open-collector outputs, designed for high-voltage applications. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75V to 5.25V and supports TTL logic levels. Key electrical parameters include a maximum propagation delay of 20ns at 5V with 15pF load, a low-level output current capability of 40mA, and a static current of 18mA. It is housed in a 14-pin SOIC package and functions reliably across an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Provides six independent inverting channels with open-collector outputs suitable for high-voltage driving
• Compatible with standard TTL logic input levels for seamless integration
• Capable of sourcing significant low-level output current for direct interface with loads

Inverter Gates Applications

• High-voltage switching circuits requiring open-collector configuration
• TTL-to-CMOS level translation interfaces
• Driving relays, lamps, or indicator lights directly from logic gates

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'SR' corresponds to the tape-and-reel packaging format required for automated assembly processes. Confirm that the open-collector output architecture aligns with the external pull-up resistor requirements of the target circuit design. Ensure the SOIC-14 footprint matches the PCB layout specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when six inverted signals with open-collector outputs are needed in a compact surface-mount form factor. It serves as a direct replacement for other 74LS06 variants differing only in packaging, such as DIP or SOIC versions without the reel suffix. Consider the 40mA sink capability and 20ns delay when evaluating timing constraints and drive strength requirements for the application.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the widely used 74LS (Low-power Schottky) logic series, known for balanced speed and power consumption. The SN74LS06 specifically addresses the need for buffered inversion with open-collector outputs, distinguishing it from standard push-pull inverters like the SN74LS04. It is a staple component in digital logic designs requiring voltage level shifting or direct control of higher voltage loads.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Direct functional equivalents include SN74LS06N (DIP), SN74LS06DR (SOIC tape/reel), and SN74LS06NSRG4 (RoHS-compliant variant). Verify pinout compatibility and ensure the substitute maintains the same open-collector output structure and electrical ratings.
