Substitute Part Grouping Explanation
Substitution for the 74HC27D,652 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:
- Logic function: 3-channel, 3-input NOR gate
- Electrical specifications: Supply voltage (2V–6V), quiescent current (2 µA max), output current (5.2mA), input logic levels, and propagation delay
- Package compatibility: 14-SOIC surface mount form factor with 0.154" (3.90mm) width
- Functional pin configuration: Identical pinout within the 74HC27 base product family
All substitute parts listed maintain these core electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in product status, compliance certifications, and packaging formats (tube, tape & reel, cut tape) do not affect functional interchangeability in circuit applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations
For applications requiring the 74HC27D,652, the following selection criteria apply based on product status and compliance:
Primary Recommendation (Active Status & Full Compliance):
- SN74HC27DR (Texas Instruments): Active product status with ROHS3 compliance, 15ns propagation delay, operating range -40°C to 85°C, available in cut tape and Digi-Reel packaging.
- CD74HC27M96 (Texas Instruments): Active product status with ROHS3 compliance, 16ns propagation delay, extended operating range -55°C to 125°C, available in tape & reel packaging.
Secondary Options (Active Status):
- SN74HC27NSR (Texas Instruments): Active product status with ROHS3 compliance, 15ns propagation delay. Note: Package width is 5.30mm (14-SO) versus the standard 3.90mm (14-SOIC), requiring PCB layout verification for mechanical fit.
Legacy/Discontinued Alternatives (ROHS3 Compliant):
- SN74HC27D, SN74HC27DT, CD74HC27MT: All discontinued at DiGi Electronics but available in inventory. These maintain electrical equivalence and ROHS3 compliance.
Non-Compliant Alternative:
- CD74HC27M (Harris Corporation): RoHS non-compliant. Use only in applications where RoHS compliance is not required.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I substitute SN74HC27DR for the 74HC27D,652 without circuit modification?
A: Yes. Both parts share identical logic function (3-channel, 3-input NOR gate), electrical specifications (2V–6V supply, 2 µA quiescent current, 5.2mA output current), and 14-SOIC package footprint. The 15ns propagation delay is equivalent. No circuit changes are required.
Q: What is the difference between CD74HC27M96 and SN74HC27DR?
A: Both are functionally equivalent NOR gate ICs. CD74HC27M96 has a 1ns longer propagation delay (16ns vs. 15ns) and an extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C vs. -40°C to 85°C). CD74HC27M96 is available in tape & reel packaging; SN74HC27DR is available in cut tape and Digi-Reel formats. Select based on temperature requirements and packaging needs.
Q: Why is SN74HC27NSR listed with a different package width (5.30mm)?
A: SN74HC27NSR uses a 14-SO package (5.30mm width) instead of the standard 14-SOIC (3.90mm width). While electrically equivalent, the larger package width may not fit existing PCB footprints designed for the narrower 3.90mm package. Verify PCB layout compatibility before substitution.
Q: Is CD74HC27M suitable for new designs?
A: CD74HC27M is RoHS non-compliant and obsolete. It is not recommended for new designs. Use SN74HC27DR or CD74HC27M96 instead, both of which are ROHS3 compliant and have active or extended availability.
Q: What is the impact of the 1ns propagation delay difference between 15ns and 16ns parts?
A: The 1ns difference is negligible in most digital logic applications. Both meet the 74HC27 specification. Select based on timing margin requirements in your specific circuit. For high-speed or time-critical applications, verify timing analysis with the actual propagation delay values.
Q: Can I use parts with different operating temperature ranges interchangeably?
A: Only if your application operates within the narrower temperature range. The 74HC27D,652 operates -40°C to 125°C. SN74HC27DR operates -40°C to 85°C. If your circuit requires operation above 85°C, use CD74HC27M96 (-55°C to 125°C) instead.
