Product details
Overview
SN74LS07DBR from Texas Instruments is a hex buffer/driver IC with six independent open-collector outputs, designed for level translation between TTL and higher-voltage circuits (up to 30 V), delivering up to 40 mA sink current per channel, and operating at 5 V supply with 12 ns typical propagation delay. It is used in legacy industrial control I/O interfacing and discrete load driving.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LS07DBR datasheet, SN74LS07DBR pinout, SN74LS07DBR application, or SN74LS07DBR equivalent, key selection criteria include open-collector output voltage rating (30 V), sink-current capability (40 mA), TTL-compatible inputs, 14-pin SSOP package dimensions (6.20 mm × 5.30 mm), and compatibility with mixed-voltage system interfacing.
Technical Context
The SN74LS07DBR implements six identical non-inverting buffer stages, each with an open-collector output stage capable of sinking up to 40 mA while tolerating up to 30 V on the output node. Inputs accept 5.25 V logic levels and feature internal clamping diodes to suppress transmission-line reflections.
It operates strictly as a current-sinking driver - no active pull-up - requiring external pull-up resistors for logic-high assertion. Its functional behavior follows a simple truth table: low input → low output (sinking), high input → high-impedance output (open). No internal power rail switching or enable logic is present.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.75–5.25 V - ensures stable TTL-level operation; deviation outside this range risks incorrect logic thresholds or latch-up. |
| Output Voltage Rating | 30 V max - allows direct interface with 12 V/24 V relays, lamps, or MOSFET gates without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Sink Current per Output | 40 mA max - sufficient to drive LEDs, small solenoids, or multiple TTL inputs simultaneously. |
| Propagation Delay | 10 ns typical (tPLH/tPHL) - supports moderate-speed digital control timing in legacy systems up to ~50 MHz toggle rate. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.25 V - enables safe connection to 3.3 V LVTTL or 5 V CMOS sources without external protection. |
| Operating Temperature | 0 °C to +70 °C - suitable for commercial and industrial ambient environments, not extended or automotive grade. |
| Power Dissipation | 140 mW typical - requires no heatsinking in standard PCB layouts with adequate copper pour. |
Pinout & Package
SN74LS07DBR is housed in a 14-pin SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package) with body dimensions 6.20 mm × 5.30 mm and maximum height 2.0 mm. Pin 1 is located at the top-left corner adjacent to the index marking, with pins numbered counter-clockwise.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 5, 9, 11, 13 (1A–6A) | Input | Active-high TTL-compatible inputs; internally clamped to VCC/GND to suppress ringing on unterminated traces. |
| 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 (1Y–6Y) | Open-collector output | Current-sinking only; must be externally pulled up to define logic-high voltage; supports wired-AND/wired-OR bus configurations. |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference for all inputs, outputs, and internal circuitry; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 14 | VCC | 5 V supply rail; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed within 3 mm of the pin to suppress switching transients. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Open-collector output architecture | Enables direct interfacing with loads referenced to voltages up to 30 V - eliminates need for external transistor drivers in relay/LED control. |
| Input clamping diodes | Reduces signal integrity issues on long PCB traces or cables by limiting input voltage excursions beyond VCC/GND rails. |
| High sink-current capability | 40 mA per output supports driving multiple TTL inputs (fan-out ≥20) or medium-power indicator loads without buffering. |
| TTL-to-MOS level translation | Accepts standard 5 V TTL inputs while sourcing/sinking current into 12 V or 24 V external pull-ups - simplifies mixed-voltage subsystem design. |
| Hex-channel integration | Six independent buffers in one SSOP-14 package reduce board space vs. discrete transistor solutions and improve timing matching across channels. |
Applications
| Industrial I/O Expansion | Legacy System Bus Interface |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buffer/driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LS06DR | Same 6-channel open-collector architecture but rated for 30 V output and 40 mA sink; differs only in packaging (SOIC-14 vs. SSOP-14) and thermal resistance (RθJA = 85.2°C/W vs. 97.4°C/W). | Preferred where board space permits larger SOIC footprint and where slightly better thermal performance is required under sustained 40 mA loading. | Select SN74LS06DR if existing layout uses SOIC footprints or if ambient temperature exceeds 60 °C with full-channel loading. |
| 74HC07PW | CMOS-based hex buffer with 6 V max output voltage and 25 mA sink current; compatible 14-pin TSSOP package but lacks input clamping diodes and 30 V tolerance. | Suitable only for 3.3 V/5 V logic-level translation - cannot replace SN74LS07DBR in 12 V/24 V load-driving roles. | Choose 74HC07PW only for low-voltage, low-power digital buffering where 30 V capability is unnecessary and ESD immunity is managed externally. |
Compared with SN74LS07DBR, SN74LS06DR offers identical electrical functionality in a thermally superior SOIC package, while 74HC07PW trades high-voltage drive capability for lower power and faster speed - making it unsuitable as a drop-in replacement in legacy industrial interfaces.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage the SN74LS07DBR can safely switch?
The SN74LS07DBR is rated for a maximum output voltage of 30 V when the output is in the off (high-impedance) state. This allows direct connection to 12 V or 24 V loads via external pull-up resistors. Exceeding 30 V risks permanent damage to the output transistor, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official datasheet.
Can the SN74LS07DBR drive multiple TTL inputs from a single output?
Yes, the SN74LS07DBR can drive multiple TTL inputs from one output due to its 40 mA sink-current capability and TTL-compatible input thresholds. With a typical TTL input requiring ≤1.6 mA high-level current, a single SN74LS07DBR output can reliably drive up to 20 standard TTL loads - enabling high fan-out without additional buffering stages.
Does the SN74LS07DBR require external pull-up resistors on its outputs?
Yes, the SN74LS07DBR has open-collector outputs and cannot source current. External pull-up resistors are mandatory to establish a defined logic-high voltage level. The resistor value depends on the target voltage and load - e.g., a 1 kΩ resistor pulls up to 12 V while allowing ~12 mA sink current, staying within the 40 mA per-output limit of the SN74LS07DBR.
Is the SN74LS07DBR compatible with 3.3 V logic inputs?
Yes, the SN74LS07DBR accepts 3.3 V logic inputs safely. Its inputs are overvoltage tolerant up to 5.25 V and meet TTL input thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V), so a 3.3 V CMOS or LVTTL high signal fully satisfies the VIH requirement. No level-shifter is needed when interfacing with modern microcontrollers or FPGAs.
What is the thermal performance difference between SN74LS07DBR and SN74LS07D?
The SN74LS07DBR (SSOP-14) has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 97.4°C/W, while the SN74LS07D (SOIC-14) is rated at 85.2°C/W. Under identical 40 mA per-output loading, the SSOP version runs ~12°C hotter at the die - meaning SN74LS07DBR requires more careful thermal layout (e.g., wider copper pours) in high-density or high-ambient-temperature applications compared to the SOIC variant.
