Supplier Device Package 14-PDIP

The 7416PC from National Semiconductor is a classic hex inverting buffer from the 7416 TTL logic family. It features six independent channels with open-collector outputs, capable of sinking up to 40mA. Operating at a standard 5V supply (4.75V-5.25V), it is designed for legacy TTL systems. The 14-DIP package makes it easy to integrate into through-hole PCB designs. Typical applications include driving LEDs, relays, and level shifting in industrial and retro-computing environments.

  • Open-Collector Outputs: Allows connection to higher-voltage loads and enables wired-OR logic configurations.
  • High 40mA Sink Current: Can directly drive LEDs, relays, and other low-power loads.
  • 6 Independent Channels: Provides multiple buffering/inverting functions in a single package.
  • Standard TTL 5V Operation: Compatible with legacy 5V logic systems.
  • Through-Hole DIP Package: Easy to prototype and integrate into traditional PCB designs.

Interfacing with High-Voltage Loads

The open-collector output allows the 7416PC to switch loads connected to higher voltages (up to the transistor's breakdown limit), making it useful for driving relays, lamps, or other peripherals in industrial control systems.

Level Shifting from TTL to Other Logic Families

By using appropriate pull-up resistors, the open-collector output can be pulled up to different voltage levels (e.g., 12V or 15V), enabling level shifting from 5V TTL logic to other logic families or analog circuits.

Driving LED Displays and Indicators

The 40mA sink capability is well-suited for directly driving LEDs or seven-segment displays, simplifying the design of indicator panels and status lights.

Wired-OR Logic Implementation

Multiple open-collector outputs can be connected together to form a wired-OR configuration, allowing multiple signals to share a common line without damaging the ICs.

Legacy TTL System Interfacing

In retro computing or legacy industrial equipment, the 7416PC serves as a reliable interface for signal inversion and buffering in 5V TTL-based systems.

Relay and Solenoid Drivers

With an external transistor or directly (for small relays), the open-collector output can switch inductive loads, making it suitable for automation and control applications.
