SN74LS07N

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74LS07N is a hex buffer and line driver from Texas Instruments, belonging to the LS (Low-power Schottky) logic family. It features six non-inverting channels with open-collector outputs capable of driving high-voltage circuits up to 30V. The device operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 4.75V to 5.25V. It provides a maximum low-level output current of 40mA and includes input diode clamping to minimize transmission line effects. Typical propagation delay is 12ns at 5V, with a maximum of 30ns. The component is housed in a 14-pin PDIP package for through-hole mounting and functions within an operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official datasheets to confirm package type and tape/reel specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status as manufacturing processes evolve. Check for obsolescence notices or lifecycle changes directly from Texas Instruments documentation before finalizing procurement plans.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when open-collector outputs are required for interfacing with higher voltage loads or wired-AND configurations. Ensure the application voltage does not exceed the 30V rating. Consider the 40mA sink current limit when designing load circuits. Verify that the 0°C to 70°C commercial temperature range meets environmental requirements.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the standard 74LS series of integrated circuits, widely used in digital logic systems. It serves as a fundamental building block for signal buffering and level shifting in legacy and modern mixed-signal designs. The open-collector architecture distinguishes it from standard push-pull drivers, offering flexibility in interface design.
