Product details
Overview
SN75462DR from Texas Instruments is a dual high-voltage, high-current NAND peripheral driver IC designed for logic-level interfacing to power loads. It delivers 300 mA continuous output current per channel, supports up to 35 V off-state output voltage, and operates across 0°C to 70°C with TTL-compatible diode-clamped inputs. It is used in relay drivers, lamp drivers, and MOSFET gate drivers where robust output stage isolation and latch-up immunity are required.
For engineers reviewing the SN75462DR datasheet, SN75462DR pinout, SN75462DR application, or SN75462DR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 35 V output breakdown rating, 300 mA drive capability per channel, medium-speed switching (tPHL ≤ 50 ns), dual-NAND logic function, and SOIC-8 package compatibility with industrial control and electromechanical interface designs.
Technical Context
The SN75462DR implements two independent NAND-gated NPN transistor output stages, each with internal base resistors (4 kΩ, 1.6 kΩ, 130 Ω) and emitter-follower configuration. Its output transistors are rated for 35 V off-state voltage and exhibit no latch-up at 30 V after conducting 300 mA.
It uses TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max), draws 13–17 mA supply current when outputs are high, and features diode-clamped inputs for transient protection. The device is not a push-pull or H-bridge driver - it provides open-collector–like sourcing via VCC-connected collectors and grounded emitters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | Dual 2-input NAND gate with active-high inputs and active-low open-emitter outputs |
| Max Output Current | 300 mA per channel continuous - sufficient to directly drive relays, lamps, or small MOSFET gates |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual high-current NAND driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ULN2003A | 7-channel Darlington array; higher VCE(sat) (~1.1 V), lower speed (tPLH ≈ 250 ns), integrated flyback diodes | Better suited for inductive loads requiring built-in clamping; not pin-compatible; lacks NAND logic | Select ULN2003A when driving solenoids or stepper coils where flyback protection is mandatory and logic gating is handled externally. |
| SN75452BP | Dual non-inverting buffer (not NAND); identical pinout, same SOIC-8 package, 300 mA rating, 35 V rating | Requires external logic for NAND functionality; faster (tPHL ≈ 30 ns); no internal input pull-ups | Choose SN75452BP when non-inverting drive is acceptable and minimal propagation delay is prioritized over integrated logic function. |
Compared with ULN2003A and SN75452BP, the SN75462DR uniquely integrates dual NAND logic with high-voltage, high-current sinking capability in a compact SOIC-8 - making it optimal for space-constrained designs requiring both logic gating and robust load driving without added discretes.

FAQ
What is the logic function implemented by the SN75462DR?
The SN75462DR implements two independent 2-input NAND gates with active-high TTL-compatible inputs and open-emitter NPN outputs. Each output sinks current when both inputs are high (logic '1'), producing a low-voltage state; otherwise, the output remains high-impedance and requires an external pull-up. This matches positive-logic NAND behavior: Y = NOT(A AND B).
Can the SN75462DR drive inductive loads like relays without external flyback diodes?
No - the SN75462DR does not integrate flyback diodes. When driving inductive loads such as relays or solenoids, an external flyback diode must be connected across the load (cathode to VCC, anode to output pin) to suppress voltage spikes during turn-off. Its 35 V off-state rating accommodates typical 24 V relay coils but does not eliminate the need for clamping.
What is the maximum continuous output current per channel of the SN75462DR?
The SN75462DR is characterized for 300 mA continuous output current per channel under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.75–5.25 V, TA ≤ 70°C). At this current, the low-level output voltage is guaranteed ≤ 0.5 V (typical 0.25 V), and power dissipation remains within the SOIC-8 package's 464 mW limit at 70°C ambient.
Is the SN75462DR pin-compatible with the ULN2003A?
No - the SN75462DR (8-pin SOIC) and ULN2003A (16-pin DIP/SOIC) differ in pin count, pin assignment, logic function, and internal architecture. ULN2003A offers seven Darlington drivers with integrated flyback diodes and non-inverting logic; SN75462DR provides two NAND-gated NPN sinks without clamping diodes. They are not interchangeable without PCB redesign.
Does the SN75462DR require external base resistors for its output transistors?
No - the SN75462DR includes internal base resistors (4 kΩ, 1.6 kΩ, and 130 Ω per channel) as part of its pre-biased NPN output stage. This eliminates the need for external base resistors, simplifying design and reducing bill-of-materials count for basic relay, lamp, or MOSFET gate drive applications using the SN75462DR.
