Product details
Overview
SN7417NSRE4 from Texas Instruments is a hex buffer/driver IC with open-collector high-voltage outputs, designed for TTL-to-MOS level translation and driving high-current loads such as lamps or relays. It features 15 V maximum output breakdown voltage, 40 mA sink current capability per channel, 14 ns typical propagation delay, and operates across 0°C to 70°C. It is commonly used in indicator lamp control and bus interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SN7417NSRE4 datasheet, SN7417NSRE4 pinout, SN7417NSRE4 application, or SN7417NSRE4 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package mapping, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options - all grounded in TI's SDLS032H production data sheet.
Technical Context
The SN7417NSRE4 implements six independent non-inverting buffers (Y = A) with open-collector outputs, enabling wired-OR logic and voltage-level shifting. Each output supports up to 15 V off-state voltage and sinks up to 40 mA at VOL ≤ 0.7 V.
Inputs are TTL-compatible (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2 V), diode-clamped to suppress transmission-line effects. The device draws 21–41 mA supply current depending on output state and operates at 5 V nominal supply with ±2000 V HBM ESD rating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Type | Open-collector - enables wired-OR logic, level-shifting, and direct drive of external pull-up networks |
| Max Output Voltage | 15 V - supports interfacing with 12 V logic or relay coils without external level translators |
| Sink Current per Channel | 40 mA - sufficient to drive LEDs, small solenoids, or multiple TTL inputs simultaneously |
| Propagation Delay | 10 ns typical (tPLH/tPHL) - suitable for medium-speed digital control and timing-critical indicator interfaces |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.75 V to 5.25 V - tight tolerance ensures stable operation in regulated 5 V systems |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - qualified for commercial-grade industrial and consumer electronics applications |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | ±2000 V - meets standard handling requirements for automated assembly and board-level integration |
Pinout & Package
SN7417NSRE4 is housed in a 14-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP-N), with 19.30 mm × 6.35 mm body size and through-hole mounting. Pin 7 is GND; Pin 14 is VCC; Pins 1, 5, 11, and 15 are no-connect (NC); remaining pins form three input/output pairs plus one extra I/O pair (6 channels total).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A, 6A | Input | TTL-compatible digital inputs; must be tied to VCC or GND if unused to prevent floating states |
| 1Y, 2Y, 3Y, 4Y, 5Y, 6Y | Open-collector output | Active-low sinking node; requires external pull-up to define high logic level and voltage domain |
| VCC (Pin 14) | Power supply | 5 V nominal supply input; bypass capacitor (0.1 µF) required near pin for noise suppression |
| GND (Pin 7) | Ground reference | Common return path for all inputs, outputs, and internal circuitry; critical for signal integrity |
| NC (Pins 1, 5, 11, 15) | No internal connection | Not bonded internally; must remain unconnected - no routing or termination required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-voltage open-collector outputs | 15 V max breakdown enables direct interface with 12 V peripherals without level-shifter ICs |
| 40 mA sink current per channel | Drives LEDs, incandescent lamps, or small relays without external transistor buffering |
| TTL-compatible inputs with diode clamping | Reduces ringing and overshoot on long traces; simplifies PCB layout in noisy environments |
| Non-inverting logic function (Y = A) | Predictable signal polarity preserves control logic flow in status indication and enable paths |
| Commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C) | Validated for use in consumer electronics, industrial HMIs, and telecom power management subsystems |
Applications
| LED Indicator Control | Lamp/Relay Driver |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Driving multi-color status LEDs on front panels of network switches and power supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Hex buffer provides isolated, current-sinking outputs for each LED anode tied to separate 5–12 V rails. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete transistors; 40 mA per channel supports bright LED illumination without thermal derating. |
Use Scenario: Controlling 12 V panel lamps and small electromagnetic relays in industrial control cabinets. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as logic-level translator and current amplifier between microcontroller GPIO and higher-voltage loads. Use Value: 15 V output tolerance allows direct connection to 12 V lamp circuits; open-collector architecture prevents bus contention. |
| Bus Interface Logic | TTL-to-MOS Level Translation |
|
Use Scenario: Isolating and buffering address/data bus lines between legacy TTL peripherals and modern controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides fan-out buffering with controlled edge rates (14 ns delay) and noise-immune input clamping. Use Value: Diode-clamped inputs suppress reflections on unterminated buses; 6-channel density reduces component count. |
Use Scenario: Converting 5 V TTL signals to 10–12 V logic levels for older MOS-based memory or display drivers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Functions as unidirectional level shifter using external pull-ups to target voltage rail. Use Value: No external active components needed; 15 V output rating safely accommodates 12 V MOS gate thresholds. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex buffer/driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN7407N | 30 V output breakdown (vs. 15 V), same 40 mA sink, identical PDIP-14 package and pinout | Better suited for 24 V lamp or relay interfaces; higher voltage margin increases design headroom | Select SN7407N when interfacing with >15 V loads; otherwise SN7417NSRE4 offers tighter voltage compliance for 12 V systems |
| SN7417DR | Same electrical specs, but SOIC-14 surface-mount package (8.65 mm × 3.91 mm) vs. PDIP-14 | Enables compact PCB layouts and automated SMT assembly; not compatible with through-hole footprints | Choose SN7417DR for space-constrained or high-volume SMT designs; SN7417NSRE4 remains optimal for prototyping and manual assembly |
Compared with SN7407N and SN7417DR, SN7417NSRE4 provides the best balance of 15 V output safety margin, through-hole manufacturability, and commercial-temperature reliability - making it ideal for cost-sensitive industrial indicator and control applications where 12 V compatibility and ease of hand-soldering are priorities.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage rating for SN7417NSRE4?
The SN7417NSRE4 has a minimum output breakdown voltage of 15 V, meaning it can safely sink current while its output is pulled up to 15 V. This makes SN7417NSRE4 suitable for driving 12 V lamps or relays directly without additional protection circuitry. Exceeding 15 V risks permanent damage to the output transistor.
Can SN7417NSRE4 replace SN7407N in an existing design?
SN7417NSRE4 is not a direct replacement for SN7407N due to its lower 15 V output breakdown (versus 30 V for SN7407N). If the original design relies on 24 V or higher load voltages, SN7417NSRE4 may fail. However, for 12 V applications, SN7417NSRE4 functions identically in logic behavior, pinout, and sink current - provided voltage margins are verified.
Does SN7417NSRE4 require external pull-up resistors on its outputs?
Yes - SN7417NSRE4 features open-collector outputs and cannot source current. Each Y output must be connected to an external pull-up resistor tied to the desired logic-high voltage rail (e.g., 5 V, 12 V, or 15 V). The resistor value is selected based on load current, speed requirements, and power budget - typically 1–10 kΩ for indicator LEDs.
What is the operating temperature range of SN7417NSRE4?
SN7417NSRE4 is rated for commercial operation from 0°C to 70°C ambient temperature. This range covers most indoor consumer, computing, and industrial control applications. For extended temperature environments (e.g., automotive under-hood or outdoor telecom), consider the military-grade SN5417J variant rated from –55°C to 125°C.
How many logic channels does SN7417NSRE4 provide?
SN7417NSRE4 integrates six independent non-inverting buffer channels (1A→1Y, 2A→2Y, ..., 6A→6Y), each with TTL-compatible input and open-collector output. All six channels share a common VCC and GND, and unused inputs must be terminated to VCC or GND to ensure predictable operation.
