Frequently Asked Questions
What type of outputs does the MM74C906N have?
The MM74C906N has open-drain outputs on all six inverter channels, allowing the outputs to be pulled up to a different supply voltage externally. This enables wired-AND logic connections and voltage-level translation without additional components.
How many inverter functions are in the MM74C906N?
The MM74C906N contains six independent single-input inverter functions (hex inverter), each with one input and one open-drain output, all housed in a single 14-pin PDIP package for compact through-hole installation.
What package and dimensions does the MM74C906N use?
The MM74C906N is packaged in a 14-lead plastic dual-in-line package (PDIP), JEDEC MS-001, measuring 0.300 inches wide. It uses a rectangular, in-line style construction in plastic/epoxy material suitable for standard through-hole PCB assembly.
What logic family does the MM74C906N belong to?
The MM74C906N belongs to the CMOS logic family, which provides low quiescent power consumption and wide operating voltage range characteristics compared to bipolar logic families such as TTL, making it suitable for power-sensitive designs.
What is a typical application for the MM74C906N open-drain inverter?
A typical application is bus driving with multiple devices sharing a common signal line (wired-AND bus), where each device's open-drain output can pull the bus low. It is also used for translating 3.3 V logic outputs to 5 V or 12 V signaling levels using appropriate pull-up resistors.
