Product details
Overview
N74F07N,602 from Nexperia is a hex inverter/buffer driver with open-collector outputs, designed for level-shifting and wired-OR logic interfacing in 5V TTL systems. It features 4.5 ns typical propagation delay, 64 mA sink current per output, 12 V maximum output termination voltage, and operates across 0 °C to +70 °C ambient temperature. It is commonly used in address/data bus buffering and LED driving applications.
For engineers reviewing the N74F07N,602 datasheet, N74F07N,602 pinout, N74F07N,602 application, or N74F07N,602 equivalent, key selection considerations include open-collector drive capability, fan-out compatibility with 74F/74LS families, input threshold levels (VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V), and thermal derating at elevated ambient temperatures.
Technical Context
The N74F07N,602 implements six independent inverting buffer stages, each with an open-collector output stage capable of sinking up to 64 mA at VCC = 5.0 V. Its logic function is strictly inverting (A → Y̅), with no internal pull-up; external termination is required for high-level assertion.
It adheres to FAST TTL electrical standards: VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max, ICC = 32 mA typical (total supply current), and supports 12 V output termination while maintaining 5 V VCC operation. Propagation delay is load-dependent-tPLH improves significantly with lower pull-up resistance (e.g., 100 Ω vs. 500 Ω).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | Hex inverter (non-inverting buffer not supported; true inversion only) |
| Output Type | Open-collector - requires external pull-up resistor for high-level output |
| Max Sink Current (IOL) | 64 mA per output - enables direct LED or relay driving without external transistor |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | 4.5 ns typical at CL = 50 pF, RL = 100 Ω - defines minimum clock/data rate for timing-critical interfaces |
| Supply Voltage (VCC) | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V TTL power rails; not 3.3 V tolerant |
| Input Thresholds | VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V - ensures interoperability with 74F, 74LS, and 74AS families |
| Output Termination Max | 12 V - allows interfacing with higher-voltage buses (e.g., 12 V logic or industrial I/O) |
Pinout & Package
Package: 14-pin plastic dual in-line package (DIP14), SOT27–1, 300 mil body width, through-hole mounting.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 5, 9, 11, 13 | A0–A5 (Inputs) | Independent TTL-compatible digital inputs; each drives one inverter stage |
| 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 | Y0–Y5 (Outputs) | Open-collector outputs - must be externally pulled up to define HIGH state |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference for all inputs, outputs, and internal circuitry |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply rail (4.5–5.5 V); powers internal logic and output transistors |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 64 mA output sink capability | Enables direct drive of LEDs, small relays, or MOSFET gates without external amplification |
| 12 V output termination support | Permits interface with 12 V logic domains or industrial control lines while operating from 5 V supply |
| 4.5 ns typical propagation delay | Meets timing requirements for high-speed 74F-family bus buffering and address decoding |
| FAST TTL-compatible thresholds | Ensures reliable signal transfer between 74F, 74LS, and legacy 74xx logic families |
| Wired-OR logic implementation | Multiple N74F07N,602 outputs can share a common pull-up to implement active-low OR functions |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar inverter/buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74F07N | Same logic function, pinout, and AC specs; TI version with identical 4.5 ns tPD and 64 mA IOL | No functional difference; validated for same 5 V TTL systems and 12 V termination use cases | Drop-in replacement if TI sourcing preferred; verify packaging (N suffix = DIP14) matches N74F07N,602 |
| 74F07PC | Same electrical specs but packaged in PDIP (plastic DIP) by ON Semiconductor; identical SOT27–1 footprint | Identical thermal and electrical behavior; same 0–70 °C operating range and open-collector drive | Valid alternative when dual-sourcing across Nexperia, TI, and ON Semi is required for supply chain resilience |
Compared with SN74F07N and 74F07PC, the N74F07N,602 offers identical timing, drive strength, and pin compatibility but is distinguished by Nexperia's manufacturing traceability, extended lifecycle support for industrial applications, and documented compliance with AEC-Q100 stress testing for select variants.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage the N74F07N,602 can safely switch?
The N74F07N,602 open-collector outputs support up to 12 V applied to Yn pins in the high-impedance (HIGH) state, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This allows safe interfacing with 12 V buses when used with appropriate external pull-up resistors. Operation above 12 V risks permanent damage to the output transistors.
Can the N74F07N,602 operate from a 3.3 V supply?
No, the N74F07N,602 is not rated for 3.3 V operation. Its recommended VCC range is 4.5 V to 5.5 V, and its input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max) are optimized for 5 V TTL signaling. Using it with 3.3 V may result in unreliable switching or excessive ICC due to partial device activation.
Is the N74F07N,602 pin-compatible with the 74LS07?
Yes, the N74F07N,602 shares identical pinout and logic function with the 74LS07, including open-collector outputs and inverting behavior. However, it delivers higher speed (4.5 ns vs. ~15 ns) and greater sink current (64 mA vs. 8 mA), so layout and loading must be verified for timing and thermal integrity.
What pull-up resistor value is recommended for the N74F07N,602 outputs?
A 1 kΩ pull-up resistor to 5 V is commonly used for general-purpose 74F interfacing, balancing speed and power. For faster tPLH, 100–470 Ω is effective-but total IOL must remain ≤64 mA per output. With 12 V termination, resistor value must be selected to limit current below 64 mA (e.g., ≥188 Ω for 12 V).
Does the N74F07N,602 require decoupling capacitors?
Yes, a 100 nF ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to pins 14 (VCC) and 7 (GND) is required to suppress high-frequency supply noise generated by fast 4.5 ns transitions. Omitting decoupling may cause erratic output behavior or increased EMI in dense PCB layouts.
