Product details
Overview
SN7407DG4 from Texas Instruments is a hex buffer/driver IC with open-collector high-voltage outputs, designed for TTL-to-MOS level translation and high-current sinking (40 mA per channel) in industrial control and indicator driving applications. It features 30 V output breakdown voltage, 14 ns typical propagation delay, and operates at 5 V supply across 0°C to 70°C.
For engineers reviewing the SN7407DG4 datasheet, SN7407DG4 pinout, SN7407DG4 application, or SN7407DG4 equivalent, this device is selected for high-voltage interfacing, lamp/relay driving, and legacy TTL system expansion where open-collector pull-down capability and 30 V tolerance are required.
Technical Context
The SN7407DG4 implements six independent non-inverting open-collector buffers (Y = A), each capable of sinking up to 40 mA while tolerating up to 30 V on the output node. Its inputs are TTL-compatible with VIH = 2 V and VIL = 0.8 V, and internally diode-clamped to suppress transmission-line ringing.
It operates exclusively from a single 5 V supply (4.75–5.25 V), draws 21–41 mA supply current depending on logic state, and delivers 14 ns typical propagation delay under 15 pF load with 110 Ω termination - optimized for reliable interfacing between low-voltage logic and higher-voltage peripheral circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Type | Open-collector - enables wired-OR logic, level shifting, and direct drive of lamps/relays without external pull-ups |
| Max Output Voltage | 30 V - supports direct interface to MOS devices and 24 V industrial loads |
| Sink Current per Channel | 40 mA - sufficient to drive LEDs, small relays, or multiple TTL inputs simultaneously |
| Propagation Delay | 14 ns typical - ensures timing compatibility in medium-speed digital systems up to ~35 MHz |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.75–5.25 V - tight regulation requirement ensures stable TTL-level input thresholds and output saturation |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - commercial-grade rating suitable for consumer electronics and non-military embedded systems |
| Input Compatibility | Fully compatible with standard TTL families - eliminates need for level-shifting circuitry in mixed-logic designs |
Pinout & Package
SN7407DG4 is housed in a 14-pin SOIC (D) package measuring 8.65 mm × 3.91 mm, with gull-wing leads and RoHS-compliant NiPdAu plating. The package is moisture sensitivity level 1 (260°C peak reflow), supplied in 2500-piece tape-and-reel format (SN7407DRG4).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 5, 9, 11, 13 | Input A1–A6 | TTL-compatible digital inputs; must be tied to VCC or GND if unused to prevent floating states |
| 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 | Output Y1–Y6 | Open-collector outputs - require external pull-up resistors to define high state; tolerate up to 30 V |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and I/O; must be low-impedance connection |
| 14 | VCC | 5 V power supply pin; requires local 0.1 µF bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-voltage open-collector outputs | 30 V breakdown rating enables direct interface to 24 V PLCs, solenoids, and industrial sensors without level-shifters |
| 40 mA sink capability per channel | Drives up to six standard LEDs or one SPST relay coil directly, reducing BOM count in indicator subsystems |
| TTL input compatibility with clamping diodes | Eliminates external transient protection and simplifies PCB layout in noisy industrial environments |
| 14 ns propagation delay | Supports synchronous operation with 74LS/74ALS logic families in bus buffering and address latch applications |
| Single 5 V supply operation | Reduces power rail complexity in legacy systems where only +5 V is available, avoiding dual-supply design overhead |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN7407N | Same electrical specs, but in 14-pin PDIP (19.30 mm × 6.35 mm) with through-hole mounting and no MSL rating | Preferred for prototyping, manual assembly, or legacy through-hole PCBs where SOIC reflow is unavailable | Select SN7407N when hand-soldering or upgrading existing DIP-based designs; SN7407DG4 is optimal for automated SMT production. |
| SN7407DR | Identical SOIC-14 package and specs, but with standard NiPdAu finish (no G4 suffix); same tape-and-reel packaging (2500 pcs) | No functional difference - G4 denotes TI's green packaging standard (lead-free, halogen-free) | Choose SN7407DR for cost-sensitive commercial builds where RoHS compliance without halogen restriction is sufficient. |
Compared with SN7407N and SN7407DR, SN7407DG4 provides identical logic functionality and performance but adds halogen-free construction and tighter process control for high-reliability automated assembly - making it the preferred choice for new SMT designs requiring full environmental compliance.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage rating for SN7407DG4?
The SN7407DG4 has a guaranteed minimum output breakdown voltage of 30 V, meaning its open-collector outputs can safely withstand up to 30 V when in the OFF (high-impedance) state. This allows direct connection to 24 V industrial loads without external protection, and is confirmed in Section 6.1 (Absolute Maximum Ratings) and Section 8.3 of the SDLS032H datasheet.
Can SN7407DG4 drive multiple TTL inputs simultaneously?
Yes, SN7407DG4 can drive multiple TTL inputs due to its 40 mA per-channel sink current capability and TTL-compatible input thresholds. Each output can source current into several standard TTL gate inputs (typically requiring ≤1.6 mA low-level input current), enabling fan-out of up to 25 standard TTL loads per channel - verified in Section 6.5 (Electrical Characteristics) and Application Note SCBA004.
Is SN7407DG4 pin-compatible with SN7407N?
Yes, SN7407DG4 and SN7407N share identical pin configuration, function table, and electrical specifications - differing only in package type (SOIC vs. PDIP) and thermal characteristics. Both use the same 14-pin layout with inputs on odd pins (1,3,5,9,11,13), outputs on even pins (2,4,6,8,10,12), GND on pin 7, and VCC on pin 14 - as shown in Figure 1 and Table 1 of the SDLS032H datasheet.
Does SN7407DG4 require external pull-up resistors on its outputs?
Yes, SN7407DG4 requires external pull-up resistors on all six open-collector outputs (pins 2,4,6,8,10,12) to establish a defined HIGH logic level. The resistor value depends on load voltage and speed requirements - e.g., 10 kΩ for 5 V logic, 2.2 kΩ for 24 V interface - as illustrated in Figure 4 (Typical Application Diagram) and discussed in Section 9.2.2 of the datasheet.
What is the operating temperature range for SN7407DG4?
SN7407DG4 is rated for commercial operation from 0°C to 70°C ambient temperature, as specified in Section 6.3 (Recommended Operating Conditions) of the SDLS032H datasheet. This distinguishes it from military-grade variants like SN5407 (–55°C to 125°C) and confirms its suitability for indoor consumer and industrial electronics, not extended-temperature or aerospace applications.
