Product details
Overview
SN74LS07DBRG4 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 relay/LED driver stages.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LS07DBRG4 datasheet, SN74LS07DBRG4 pinout, SN74LS07DBRG4 application, or SN74LS07DBRG4 equivalent, key selection considerations include open-collector output voltage tolerance (30 V), sink-current capability (40 mA), input overvoltage tolerance (5.25 V), compatibility with LS-TTL logic families, and SSOP-14 package footprint constraints.
Technical Context
The SN74LS07DBRG4 implements six identical non-inverting buffer stages, each with an open-collector NPN output stage capable of sinking up to 40 mA while tolerating up to 30 V on the output node. Inputs accept 2.5 V, 3.3 V, or 5 V logic levels and include clamping diodes to suppress transmission-line reflections.
Its functional mode is strictly active-low enable: low input drives output low (sinking), high input places output in high-impedance (open) state. No internal pull-ups are present - external pull-up resistors are mandatory for wired-AND or high-side load driving.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Type | Open-collector NPN - requires external pull-up for logic HIGH; enables wired-AND and high-voltage load switching |
| Max Output Voltage | 30 V - supports direct interface to 24 V industrial sensors, relays, and indicator lamps without level-shifting circuitry |
| Sink Current per Channel | 40 mA - sufficient to drive LEDs, small solenoids, or multiple TTL inputs simultaneously |
| Propagation Delay | 12 ns typical - ensures timing compatibility with standard LS-TTL systems operating up to ~25 MHz clock domains |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | 5.25 V - allows safe connection to 3.3 V or 5 V microcontrollers without series resistors or clamping |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.75 V to 5.25 V - tightly regulated 5 V rail required; not compatible with 3.3 V-only systems |
| Operating Temperature | 0 °C to 70 °C - rated for commercial-grade environments, excluding extended industrial or automotive use |
Pinout & Package
SN74LS07DBRG4 is housed in a 14-pin SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package) with 0.65 mm lead pitch, body size 6.20 mm × 5.30 mm, and maximum height of 2.0 mm - suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts requiring surface-mount assembly and reflow compatibility (MSL Level-1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 5, 9, 11, 13 (1A–6A) | Input | Non-inverting digital input for corresponding buffer channel; internally clamped to VCC/GND |
| 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 (1Y–6Y) | Open-collector Output | NPN collector output - sinks current when input is LOW; floats (Hi-Z) when input is HIGH |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference for all inputs, outputs, and internal circuitry; must be low-impedance |
| 14 | VCC | +5 V power supply pin; requires local 0.1 µF bypass capacitor near the pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-voltage open-collector outputs | Enables direct 24 V load switching (relays, lamps) without external transistors or level shifters |
| Input clamping diodes | Suppresses ringing and overshoot on long traces - reduces need for termination or layout tuning |
| TTL-compatible inputs | Accepts standard LS-TTL logic thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V) and interfaces seamlessly with 74LS family |
| 6-channel integration | Reduces component count vs. discrete transistor arrays - simplifies BOM and improves board-level reliability |
| 30 V output rating | Eliminates risk of output breakdown when driving inductive loads with flyback voltages up to 30 V |
Applications
| Industrial I/O Expansion | Legacy System Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Adding discrete output capability to PLC backplanes or microcontroller-based control cards where 24 V DC field wiring is standard. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Buffer and voltage-level translator - converts 5 V logic signals to 24 V sink-driven outputs for solenoid valves and status indicators. Use Value: Eliminates need for six discrete NPN transistors and base-resistor networks, reducing PCB area by >40% and improving thermal margin. |
Use Scenario: Interfacing modern FPGA or ARM-based controllers with legacy 74LS-based logic subsystems in test equipment or avionics maintenance rigs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Logic-level translator and fanout buffer - matches LS-TTL drive strength and timing while accepting 3.3 V or 5 V inputs. Use Value: Maintains signal integrity across mixed-voltage domains without adding propagation delay beyond 12 ns per stage. |
| LED & Indicator Driver | Relay & Solenoid Interface |
Use Scenario: Driving multi-color status LEDs on front panels of audio receivers, Blu-ray players, or enterprise tablets where brightness consistency and current control matter. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Constant-current sink driver - each channel delivers up to 40 mA into LED anodes tied to +5 V or +24 V rails via pull-up resistors. Use Value: Enables uniform LED brightness across six channels using single-resistor current setting per LED, avoiding batch variance. |
Use Scenario: Controlling electromechanical relays in telecom AC/DC power supplies and solid-state drive (SSD) power sequencing modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-current switch driver - provides robust 40 mA sink to activate relay coils rated ≤ 24 V / 300 Ω (≈80 mW coil dissipation). Use Value: Guarantees reliable relay closure under worst-case VCC (4.75 V) and temperature (70 °C), with no external flyback diode needed due to 30 V output rating. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex open-collector buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LS06DR | Same functionality and pinout, but rated for 30 V output and 40 mA sink; differs only in RoHS compliance marking and tape-and-reel packaging (SOIC vs SSOP) | SOIC-14 package - larger footprint and lower density than SSOP; same electrical behavior and thermal performance | Select SN74LS06DR only if SOIC-14 is preferred for manual prototyping or legacy board compatibility. |
| SN74LV07APWR | 3.3 V CMOS version with 6 V max output voltage and 16 mA sink current; not 30 V tolerant; uses LV-CMOS input thresholds | Designed for 3.3 V systems only; cannot replace SN74LS07DBRG4 in 24 V load-switching roles | Choose SN74LV07APWR only for new 3.3 V designs where high-voltage drive is unnecessary and lower power is prioritized. |
Compared with SN74LS07DBRG4, SN74LS06DR offers identical electrical performance in a larger SOIC package, while SN74LV07APWR trades 30 V/40 mA capability for lower voltage operation and reduced power - making it unsuitable as a drop-in replacement in industrial 24 V applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage rating for the SN74LS07DBRG4?
The SN74LS07DBRG4 has a maximum rated output voltage of 30 V. This specification means each open-collector output can safely withstand up to 30 V when in the high-impedance (off) state - enabling direct connection to 24 V industrial loads without external protection components. Exceeding this voltage risks permanent damage to the output transistor.
Can the SN74LS07DBRG4 be used with a 3.3 V microcontroller?
Yes, the SN74LS07DBRG4 accepts 3.3 V logic inputs reliably because its input structure includes clamping diodes and it specifies VIH = 2.0 V minimum and VIL = 0.8 V maximum under recommended conditions. A 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO meets these thresholds, and the device's 5.25 V input tolerance prevents overvoltage stress - no level-shifter is required.
Does the SN74LS07DBRG4 require external pull-up resistors on its outputs?
Yes, every output of the SN74LS07DBRG4 is open-collector and must be pulled up externally to define the HIGH logic state. The value depends on load current and speed requirements - for example, a 1 kΩ resistor to +24 V yields ~24 mA sink current, while a 4.7 kΩ resistor to +5 V supports TTL fanout. No internal pull-ups exist.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of the SN74LS07DBRG4 in its SSOP package?
The SN74LS07DBRG4 in the SSOP-14 (DB) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 97.4 °C/W. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions; actual board layout, copper area, and airflow significantly affect real-world thermal performance - derating is advised above 50 °C ambient when sinking 40 mA continuously per channel.
Is the SN74LS07DBRG4 pin-compatible with other 74LS-series hex buffers?
Yes, the SN74LS07DBRG4 shares identical pinout and function with SN74LS06, SN74LS07N, and SN74LS07D across all 14-pin variants (SSOP, SOIC, PDIP, SOP). Input/output assignments, GND (pin 7), and VCC (pin 14) positions are standardized - allowing direct substitution within the same package family, provided voltage and current requirements match.
