Texas Instruments 74LS06 Hex Inverter Buffer/Driver DIP-14

Texas Instruments 74LS06 Hex Inverter Buffer/Driver DIP-14 is a hex inverter buffer/driver integrated circuit in a 14-pin DIP-14 package. It features high-voltage open-collector outputs rated at 30 V with a maximum sink current of 40 mA, making it a practical interface component between low-level logic and higher-level circuits.

Overview

The 74LS06 provides six inverting buffer/driver channels within a single device. It is characterised for use as an inverter buffer for driving TTL inputs, supporting signal conditioning and level shifting within digital systems. Its open-collector outputs allow the output to be pulled up to a voltage higher than the supply rail, which is useful for interfacing with different logic families or driving non-standard loads.

Key Features

• Hex inverting buffer/driver with open-collector outputs
• Output voltage rating of 30 V
• Maximum sink current of 40 mA for driving loads such as indicator lamps and relays
• Inputs fitted with diode clamps to help minimise transmission line effects
• Typical power dissipation of 175 mW
• Average propagation delay time of 8 ns
• Maintains compatibility with most TTL logic families

Applications

The device is suited to communications and networking equipment, sensing instrumentation, and any design requiring reliable TTL to MOS level conversion or high-current sinking capabilities. It is manufactured without antimony or bromine (Sb/Br).
