Product details

Overview

SN74LS05MEL from ON Semiconductor is a hex inverter with open-collector outputs, designed for level-shifting and wired-OR logic interfacing in TTL-compatible systems. It operates at 4.75–5.25 V, delivers 8 mA sink current per output, and exhibits 15–32 ns propagation delay across 0–70°C ambient range. It is used in bus driver, LED driver, and interface translation applications.

For engineers reviewing the SN74LS05MEL datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include open-collector drive capability, guaranteed TTL input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V), low-power Schottky process, SOEIAJ-14 package compatibility, and industrial temperature operation.

Technical Context

The SN74LS05MEL implements six independent inverting buffers using low-power Schottky bipolar technology. Each output is an open-collector transistor capable of sinking up to 8.0 mA while maintaining VOL ≤ 0.4 V at IOL = 4.0 mA and ≤ 0.5 V at IOL = 8.0 mA.

It guarantees TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max) and supports wired-OR logic via external pull-up resistors. Propagation delays are specified at tPLH = 17–32 ns and tPHL = 15–28 ns under CL = 15 pF, RL = 2.0 kΩ conditions at TA = 25°C.

Applications

Industrial Bus InterfaceLED Indicator Driver

Use Scenario: Driving multiple TTL-compatible address/data lines on a shared backplane with active-low enable signals.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Hex inverter provides inverted, open-collector enable/control signals for bus transceivers and latches.

Use Value: Wired-OR capability allows multiple SN74LS05MEL outputs to share one pull-up resistor, reducing component count and board space.

Use Scenario: Driving discrete LEDs from microcontroller GPIOs that lack sufficient sink current.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Inverter stage converts logic-HIGH GPIO output into a grounded path for LED cathode connection.

Use Value: 8 mA per output supports common indicator LEDs without external transistor buffering.

Level Translation (5 V → 3.3 V)Wired-OR Logic Gate

Use Scenario: Interfacing a 5 V TTL system to a 3.3 V FPGA I/O bank using a pull-up to 3.3 V.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: SN74LS05MEL acts as a unidirectional voltage translator by sinking current into a 3.3 V pull-up.

Use Value: Eliminates need for dedicated level translators; leverages existing open-collector architecture and known VIH/VIL margins.

Use Scenario: Implementing priority interrupt arbitration where multiple sources assert a common INT# line.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Each SN74LS05MEL inverter inverts and drives its source signal onto a shared wired-OR net.

Use Value: Enables hardware-based OR logic with deterministic timing and no software overhead.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex inverter applications.

Alternative PartTechnical DifferenceApplication DifferenceSelection Advice
SN74LS06NSame logic function and open-collector outputs, but rated for 40 mA sink per output (vs. 8 mA).Better suited for higher-current loads (e.g., relays, high-brightness LEDs); larger VIK (−1.5 V) limits input clamping margin.Select SN74LS06N when >8 mA sink current is required; verify input clamp and layout thermal constraints.
SN74LS04NHex inverter with push-pull (not open-collector) outputs; no external pull-up needed.Cannot perform wired-OR or level translation; limited to standard logic inversion with defined HIGH/LOW states.Choose SN74LS04N only when true complementary output drive is required and bus sharing is unnecessary.

Compared with SN74LS05MEL, SN74LS06N offers higher drive strength at the cost of greater power dissipation and reduced input protection margin, while SN74LS04N eliminates wiring flexibility for shared nets but simplifies termination and reduces external components.

FAQ

What is the output configuration of the SN74LS05MEL?

The SN74LS05MEL features six independent open-collector outputs. Each output consists of a single NPN transistor emitter grounded internally, collector accessible externally, and base driven by the inverter stage. This configuration requires external pull-up resistors to establish a HIGH logic state and enables wired-OR functionality. The SN74LS05MEL does not provide active HIGH drive capability.

Does the SN74LS05MEL support operation at 3.3 V supply?

No, the SN74LS05MEL is specified only for VCC = 4.75–5.25 V. Its internal low-power Schottky TTL circuitry requires 5 V nominal operation to meet guaranteed VIH, VOL, and propagation delay specs. Operating below 4.75 V may result in marginal or non-compliant logic thresholds and timing behavior. For 3.3 V systems, consider logic-level translators or 3.3 V–compatible inverters instead of the SN74LS05MEL.

What is the maximum sink current per output of the SN74LS05MEL?

The SN74LS05MEL is rated for a maximum output sink current (IOL) of 8.0 mA per channel while maintaining VOL ≤ 0.5 V at VCC = 4.75 V and TA = 70°C. At IOL = 4.0 mA, VOL is guaranteed ≤ 0.4 V. Exceeding 8.0 mA risks violating the VOL specification and may cause excessive junction heating or long-term reliability degradation in the SN74LS05MEL.

Can the SN74LS05MEL be used for level translation between 5 V and 3.3 V logic domains?

Yes, the SN74LS05MEL can perform unidirectional level translation from 5 V inputs to 3.3 V–compatible outputs when configured with a 3.3 V pull-up resistor on each open-collector output. Its TTL input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) accept 5 V logic levels reliably, and the output swings between GND and 3.3 V. This use case is valid and documented in ON Semiconductor application guidance for the SN74LS05MEL.

What package type is used for the SN74LS05MEL?

The SN74LS05MEL uses the SOEIAJ-14 surface-mount package (Case 965), a gull-wing leaded variant of SOIC standardized by the Electronic Industries Association of Japan. It has 14 leads, 1.27 mm pitch, and overall dimensions of 8.55 mm × 3.80 mm × 1.75 mm. This package is distinct from the DIP (N suffix) and standard SOIC (D suffix) variants of the SN74LS05 family.
