SN7401N DIP Quad 2-Input And Gate with Open Collector Output

Product Description: SN7401N DIP Quad 2-Input AND Gate with Open Collector Output

The SN7401N is a quad 2-input AND gate with open collector output designed to handle a wide range of digital logic applications. This DIP (Dual In-line Package) IC contains four independent AND gates, each with two inputs. The key feature of the SN7401N is its open collector output, which provides flexibility for wired-AND logic configurations, making it ideal for interfacing with TTL and CMOS circuits.

An AND gate produces a high output only when both of its inputs are high (logic 1), otherwise, it outputs low (logic 0). The open collector output allows the gates to pull an output signal low, but requires an external pull-up resistor to generate a valid high-level signal. This feature enables the SN7401N to be used in applications requiring multiple logic gates to share a common output line, a crucial feature for creating wired-AND configurations, bus systems, and open collector logic applications.

The SN7401N operates with a wide voltage range from 4.5V to 5.5V, making it compatible with TTL logic systems. With low power consumption and high noise immunity, the SN7401N is ideal for digital control, signal processing, interfacing tasks, and creating complex logic circuits in space-constrained environments. The DIP package ensures easy integration into both through-hole and breadboard applications.
