The SN7416DR from Texas Instruments is a hex inverter buffer/driver IC belonging to the 7400 series, designed for high-voltage interface applications. Packaged in a 14-SOIC surface-mount format, it features six independent inverters with open-collector outputs, enabling direct interfacing with higher-voltage circuits (up to 15V). Operating within a 4.75V–5.25V supply range, it delivers a maximum propagation delay of 23ns at 5V/15pF, ensuring reliable performance in digital logic systems. The device is RoHS3 compliant and rated for industrial temperatures (0°C to 70°C), making it suitable for a broad range of environments.
The SN7416DR stands out for its versatile open-collector outputs, robust industrial-grade specs, and ease of integration in mixed-voltage systems. Its low propagation delay and high noise margin make it a reliable choice for interface-heavy designs, while the surface-mount package aligns with modern manufacturing trends. Engineers favor this IC for retrofit projects or new designs requiring backward compatibility with 7400-series logic. A cost-effective solution for level shifting, buffering, and driving inductive loads, the SN7416DR remains a go-to component in both industrial and educational settings.
