Description

The 74×06 (ex 74LS06) is a chip with six open-collector inverters that has a maximum output voltage of 30V and a sink current of 40 mA so that they can interface with high-level circuits (such as MOSFETs), or for driving high-current loads.

When you have an open collector output, it means it’s easy to connect it to other chips that use different logic levels. However, it also means you can’t just swap it out with a regular inverter chip.
