Texas Instruments SN7417N Hex Buffer/Driver DIP14

Texas Instruments SN7417N Hex Buffer/Driver is a hex buffer/driver integrated circuit with a 40mA sink current, designed for signal interfacing in digital logic circuits.

Overview

The SN7417N features high-voltage open-collector outputs, making it suitable for interfacing with high-level circuits such as MOS. It can also drive high-current loads, including indicator lamps and relays. The device is characterised for use as a buffer for driving TTL inputs and performs the Boolean function Y=A in positive logic.

Key Features

• High sink-current capability of 40mA, with a minimum output breakdown voltage of 15V
• Open-collector outputs that support interfacing with higher voltage circuits and wired-OR configurations
• Inputs incorporate clamping diodes, which help minimise transmission-line effects and reduce the need for external protection components
• Fully compatible with most TTL logic families, with defined input thresholds of 2V high-level and 0.8V low-level
• Operates from a 5V supply (4.75V to 5.25V) within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C

Specifications

• Typical power dissipation: 145mW
• Average propagation delay: 14ns
• Package: 14-pin DIP

Supplied in a 14-pin DIP package, the SN7417N offers a practical solution for digital logic buffering and logic level translation in TTL-based designs. Choose the Texas Instruments SN7417N Hex Buffer/Driver when you need a TTL-compatible buffer with open-collector outputs and a 40mA sink current.
