Product details
Overview
SNJ5406W from Texas Instruments is a military-grade hex inverter buffer/driver with open-collector high-voltage outputs, designed for level-shifting TTL logic to MOS circuits and driving high-current loads such as relays and indicator lamps. It features 30 V output breakdown voltage, 30 mA maximum sink current per channel, and operates across –55°C to 125°C.
For engineers reviewing the SNJ5406W datasheet, SNJ5406W pinout, SNJ5406W application, or SNJ5406W equivalent, this device is selected for high-reliability industrial control, aerospace interface design, and legacy system upgrades requiring MIL-PRF-38535 compliance, open-collector drive capability, and wide-temperature operation.
Technical Context
The SNJ5406W implements six independent inverting buffer stages, each with an open-collector NPN output stage enabling wired-OR logic and direct interfacing to voltages up to 30 V. Input clamping diodes simplify system design by eliminating external protection components.
It is characterized for use as both a level translator (TTL-to-MOS) and a high-sink-current driver, with input compatibility across standard TTL families and guaranteed performance over the full military temperature range without derating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output type | Open-collector NPN - enables wired-OR bus configurations and direct connection to external pull-up networks up to 30 V |
| Max output breakdown voltage | 30 V - supports direct driving of 24 V relay coils and industrial indicator lamps without external voltage translation |
| Max sink current per channel | 30 mA - sufficient for driving LEDs, small solenoids, and logic-level MOSFET gates in ruggedized systems |
| Operating temperature | –55°C to 125°C - qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 for aerospace, defense, and downhole applications |
| Propagation delay (tPHL) | 23 ns max at 5 V, 15 pF load - ensures timing predictability in synchronous control logic and discrete signal conditioning |
| Input compatibility | Fully compatible with standard TTL logic levels - accepts VIH ≥ 2 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V, simplifying integration into legacy digital subsystems |
| Supply voltage range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - tightly regulated operation suitable for precision power domains in avionics and test equipment |
Pinout & Package
SNJ5406W is housed in a 14-pin CFP (Ceramic Flatpack) package, hermetically sealed for high-reliability environments. The package features gull-wing leads, 0.100" lead pitch, and meets MIL-STD-1835 GDIP1-T14 mechanical standards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 5, 9, 11, 13 | Input (1A–6A) | Active-high TTL-compatible inputs; internally clamped to GND via diodes for ESD robustness |
| 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 | Output (1Y–6Y) | Open-collector NPN outputs - require external pull-up to define logic HIGH; support 30 V off-state voltage |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference for all inputs, outputs, and internal circuitry; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply input (4.5–5.5 V); powers internal logic and output stage bias networks |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-voltage open-collector outputs | 30 V breakdown rating enables direct interface to 24 V industrial buses and relay drivers without level-shifting ICs |
| Input clamping diodes | Integrated diodes eliminate need for external transient suppression on input lines in noisy control environments |
| MIL-PRF-38535 qualification | Qualified for Class B (or higher) screening per QML requirements - traceable lot data, burn-in, and parametric testing included |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex inverter buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNJ5406J | Same electrical specs and temperature range, but in CDIP (ceramic DIP) package with through-hole leads | Preferred for prototyping, manual assembly, or legacy board rework where CFP footprint is unavailable | Select when board-level repair, hand-soldering, or socket-based testing is required |
| SN7406N | Commercial-grade version (0°C to 70°C), PDIP package, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish, 40 mA sink current | Suitable for non-military, cost-sensitive industrial or lab equipment where extended temperature range is not needed | Select for new commercial designs requiring lower cost, lead-free compliance, and higher sink current at room temperature |
Compared with SNJ5406J, SNJ5406W offers identical electrical performance but improved thermal dissipation and reduced profile in CFP packaging; compared with SN7406N, it trades commercial temperature range and RoHS compliance for military qualification, hermetic sealing, and guaranteed operation at –55°C and 125°C.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage rating for SNJ5406W?
The SNJ5406W has a minimum output breakdown voltage of 30 V, meaning each open-collector output can safely withstand up to 30 V when in the OFF state. This allows direct connection to 24 V industrial buses or relay coils without external protection components. The rating is verified per MIL-PRF-38535 test procedures and applies across the full –55°C to 125°C operating range.
Is SNJ5406W pin-compatible with SN7406N?
Yes, SNJ5406W is pin-compatible with SN7406N - both devices use the same 14-pin dual-in-line functional pinout (1A–6A inputs, 1Y–6Y outputs, GND, VCC). However, SNJ5406W uses a CFP package with gull-wing leads, while SN7406N uses a PDIP package with through-hole leads; physical mounting differs, but logic mapping and PCB signal routing are identical.
Does SNJ5406W require external pull-up resistors on its outputs?
Yes, SNJ5406W requires external pull-up resistors on all six open-collector outputs (pins 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12) to define the HIGH logic state. The value depends on load capacitance and speed requirements - typical values range from 1 kΩ (for fast switching into low-capacitance loads) to 10 kΩ (for low-power indicator lamp driving). No internal pull-ups are present.
What is the maximum sink current per channel for SNJ5406W?
The maximum sink current per channel for SNJ5406W is 30 mA, specified at VCC = 4.5 V and TA = 25°C. This rating is maintained across the full military temperature range, with appropriate derating only required if simultaneous multi-channel sinking exceeds total package power limits. Electrical test data confirms 30 mA capability at 125°C ambient.
How does SNJ5406W differ from SNJ5416W?
SNJ5406W and SNJ5416W share identical package, temperature range, and pinout, but differ in output voltage rating and sink current: SNJ5406W supports 30 V output breakdown and 30 mA sink current, while SNJ5416W supports only 15 V breakdown and the same 30 mA sink current. SNJ5406W is used where higher-voltage interfacing is required; SNJ5416W suits lower-voltage MOS or CMOS loads.
