The SN7406 is a hex inverter buffer/driver manufactured by Texas Instruments (TI). Here are its specifications, descriptions, and features:

Specifications:

• Logic Type: Inverter Buffer/Driver
• Number of Channels: 6 (Hex)
• Output Type: Open-Collector
• Supply Voltage (VCC): 4.75V to 5.25V (Standard 5V operation)
• High-Level Input Voltage (VIH): Min 2V
• Low-Level Input Voltage (VIL): Max 0.8V
• Output Current (High): Open-Collector (Requires pull-up resistor)
• Output Current (Low): 40mA (Sink current per channel)
• Propagation Delay (tpd): Typically 15ns
• Operating Temperature Range: 0°C to 70°C (Commercial grade)

Description:

The SN7406 is a TTL-compatible hex inverter buffer/driver with open-collector outputs. It is designed to interface between TTL logic levels and higher voltage/current circuits, such as relays, lamps, or other high-voltage loads.

Features:

• Open-Collector Outputs: Allows driving higher voltages (up to 30V) than standard TTL outputs.
• High-Voltage Outputs: Can handle up to 30V on the output side.
• TTL-Compatible Inputs: Works with standard TTL logic levels.
• High Sink Current Capability: Each output can sink up to 40mA.
• Hex Configuration: Six independent inverters in a single package.
• Standard 14-Pin DIP Package: Common through-hole package for easy prototyping.
