Product details
Overview
SN75447P from Texas Instruments is a dual NAND peripheral driver IC designed for high-voltage, high-current switching in electromechanical systems. It delivers 350 mA per channel, supports 70 V output breakdown voltage, features integrated output clamp diodes, and operates at 5 V with TTL/MOS-compatible inputs. It is used in hammer-driver circuits for telecommunication relay control.
For engineers reviewing the SN75447P datasheet, SN75447P pinout, SN75447P application, or SN75447P equivalent, key selection criteria include output clamp-diode capability (350 mA, 70 V), propagation delay (200–750 ns), low input current (≤10 µA), and operation over 0°C to 70°C without latch-up up to 50 V.
Technical Context
The SN75447P implements two independent NAND logic drivers with diode-clamped inputs and inductive-load clamp diodes on both outputs. Each channel supports simultaneous 350 mA conduction with 70 V breakdown rating and withstands transient energy via integrated 350 mA/70 V clamp diodes.
It uses standard 5 V TTL-compatible supply and logic thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V), with propagation delays of 200–750 ns and transition times under 100 ns. The device is characterized for industrial temperature range (0°C to 70°C) and rated for 640 mW power dissipation in the 16-pin PDIP package.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | Dual 2-input NAND driver - enables active-low enable control of two independent high-side loads. |
| Output Current Rating | 350 mA per channel - sufficient to drive solenoids, relays, and printer hammers directly. |
| Output Breakdown Voltage | 70 V min - allows safe switching of inductive loads with flyback voltages up to 70 V. |
| Clamp Diode Rating | 350 mA / 70 V - integrated output clamp diodes suppress transients without external components. |
| Propagation Delay | 200–750 ns - ensures fast response for timing-critical electromechanical actuation. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.75 V to 5.25 V - tightly regulated 5 V operation compatible with standard TTL bus systems. |
| Input Current (IIH/IIL) | ±10 µA max - minimizes loading on upstream logic and reduces power in large arrays. |
Pinout & Package
SN75447P is housed in a 16-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP), with 0.3-inch body width and through-hole mounting. Pin spacing is 0.1 inch, and thermal resistance θJA is 156.25 °C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4 | Input A/S for Channel 1 & 2 | Two independent NAND inputs per channel: A (data), S (enable); active-low S disables output. |
| 5, 6 | Output Y for Channel 1 & 2 | Open-collector–like high-voltage outputs with internal clamp diodes; sink current only. |
| 7 | GND | Power ground reference for logic and output stages; must be low-impedance for clamp diode return path. |
| 8 | VCC | 5 V logic supply; powers input buffers and internal biasing; not connected to output stage supply. |
| 9–16 | CLAMP terminals | Four dedicated clamp diode anodes (pins 9,10,13,14) and cathodes (pins 11,12,15,16) - externally wired to load supply rails for transient suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No output latch-up at 50 V | Guarantees robust operation during inductive kickback events without destructive failure. |
| TTL- and MOS-compatible inputs | Accepts standard 5 V logic levels without level-shifting, simplifying interface with microcontrollers and gate arrays. |
| Diode-clamped inputs | Protects against negative transients down to −1.5 V, enabling reliable operation in noisy industrial environments. |
| High-voltage outputs (70 V min) | Directly switches 24 V, 48 V, or higher DC loads such as telecom relays and dot-matrix print head drivers. |
| Very low input current (≤10 µA) | Enables fan-out of >100 SN75447P inputs from a single TTL output without buffering. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage NAND driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ULN2003A | Seven Darlington drivers, open-collector, no NAND logic; 500 mA rating but no integrated clamp diode anodes/cathodes. | Requires external diodes for >30 V inductive loads; better suited for simple ON/OFF rather than logic-gated control. | Choose ULN2003A when needing >2 channels or higher current per channel without NAND gating. |
| SN75452BP | Dual non-inverting driver (AND function), identical pinout and clamp structure, same 350 mA/70 V rating. | Provides active-high output enable instead of NAND logic; requires inverted control signals for equivalent behavior. | Choose SN75452BP when system logic naturally provides high-enable signals and NAND inversion is undesirable. |
Compared with ULN2003A and SN75452BP, the SN75447P uniquely combines dual NAND logic, dedicated clamp terminal routing, and guaranteed 350 mA/70 V operation in a 16-pin PDIP-making it optimal for space-constrained, logic-gated electromechanical control where transient immunity and minimal external components are critical.

FAQ
What is the logic function of the SN75447P?
The SN75447P implements two independent 2-input NAND drivers. Each channel has separate A (data) and S (enable) inputs; the output Y is low only when both A and S are high. This enables active-low enable control of high-voltage loads. The SN75447P does not provide push-pull or three-state outputs - it is a dedicated sink-type NAND driver with integrated clamp diodes.
Can the SN75447P drive inductive loads without external diodes?
Yes - the SN75447P includes internal clamp diodes rated for 350 mA and 70 V, with dedicated CLAMP pins (9–16) for external connection to the load supply rail. When properly wired, these diodes safely dissipate flyback energy from relays and solenoids. External diodes are unnecessary unless peak transient energy exceeds the 350 mA/70 V rating or layout demands localized clamping.
What is the maximum continuous output current per channel for the SN75447P?
The SN75447P is characterized for continuous output current up to 350 mA per channel at TA = 25°C, with derated capability at higher temperatures. At 70°C ambient, the 16-pin PDIP package supports 350 mA only if total power dissipation remains within the 640 mW limit. For sustained 350 mA operation across the full 0°C–70°C range, board-level heatsinking or airflow is recommended.
Is the SN75447P pin-compatible with the SN75446P?
Yes - the SN75447P and SN75446P share identical pinout, package, and clamp terminal configuration. The only functional difference is logic: SN75446P implements AND gates (Y = A·S), while SN75447P implements NAND gates (Y = A·S̅). Signal timing, voltage ratings, and thermal specs are identical, enabling direct substitution when logic inversion is acceptable or compensated in firmware.
Does the SN75447P require a separate supply for its outputs?
No - the SN75447P uses a single 5 V supply (VCC, pin 8) for logic and biasing. Output switching occurs between the load supply (connected to CLAMP pins) and GND (pin 7). The internal output transistors are NPN-based sinks; their collector connects to the external load rail via CLAMP terminals, so no second supply is needed for core functionality.
