74VHC86MTCX Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 74VHC86MTCX is a 4-channel XOR (Exclusive OR) logic gate IC manufactured by onsemi in 14-TSSOP surface mount packaging. This component operates across a 2V to 5.5V supply voltage range with a maximum propagation delay of 8.8ns at 5V with 50pF load. The part is currently active in production with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Substitute parts are necessary when the primary part becomes unavailable, when alternative packaging formats are required for specific PCB layouts, or when automotive-grade qualification is needed for mission-critical applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 74VHC86MTCX is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Logic function: XOR gate with 4 channels and 2 inputs per channel
• Electrical specifications: 2V to 5.5V supply voltage, 8mA output current capability, 8.8ns propagation delay at 5V/50pF
• Package compatibility: 14-pin surface mount variants (TSSOP, SSOP, TVSOP)
• Operating temperature range: Minimum -40°C, maximum 85°C or higher
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliance required

Substitute parts are grouped into the following categories:

Direct Equivalents (Same Package): Parts with identical 14-TSSOP packaging and matching electrical parameters.

Package Variants (Different Surface Mount Packages): Parts with equivalent electrical specifications but alternative 14-pin surface mount packages (SSOP, TVSOP) suitable for different PCB footprints.

Automotive-Grade Alternatives: Parts with AEC-Q100 qualification and extended temperature ranges for automotive applications.

Parametric Equivalents (Different Series): Parts from alternative manufacturers with matching functional and electrical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Same Package, Active Status): SN74AHC86PWR (Texas Instruments) and 74AHC86PW,118 (Nexperia USA Inc.) are active production parts with identical electrical specifications and 14-TSSOP packaging. Both support extended operating temperature to 125°C, providing additional thermal margin compared to the 74VHC86MTCX.

For Automotive Applications: 74AHC86PW-Q100J (Nexperia USA Inc.) carries AEC-Q100 qualification and is suitable for automotive-grade designs requiring certified component traceability.

For Alternative Packaging: SN74AHC86DBR (14-SSOP, 0.209" width) and SN74AHC86DGVR (14-TVSOP, 0.173" width) accommodate different PCB layout requirements while maintaining electrical equivalence.

For Parametric Equivalence: 74VHC86FT (Toshiba Semiconductor and Storage) provides equivalent functionality in the same 14-TSSOP package with matching temperature range (-40°C to 85°C).

Avoid: NLVVHC86DTR2G is marked obsolete and SN74AHC86PW is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, limiting long-term supply availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute 74VHC86MTCX with SN74AHC86PWR in my design? A: Yes. Both parts share identical logic function (4-channel XOR), electrical specifications (2V to 5.5V supply, 8.8ns propagation delay at 5V/50pF), and 14-TSSOP packaging. SN74AHC86PWR extends the operating temperature range to 125°C, which is compatible with designs specified for -40°C to 85°C operation.

Q: What is the difference between 14-TSSOP, 14-SSOP, and 14-TVSOP packages? A: These are all 14-pin surface mount packages with different physical dimensions. 14-TSSOP and 14-TVSOP both measure 0.173" width, while 14-SSOP measures 0.209" width. Package selection depends on PCB footprint availability and layout constraints. Electrical function remains identical across all three variants.

Q: Is 74AHC86PW-Q100J suitable for automotive applications? A: Yes. 74AHC86PW-Q100J carries AEC-Q100 qualification, indicating compliance with automotive reliability and testing standards. This part is appropriate for automotive-grade designs requiring certified component qualification.

Q: Why is NLVVHC86DTR2G listed as obsolete? A: NLVVHC86DTR2G is marked with obsolete product status, indicating it is no longer in active production. While inventory may remain available, new designs should not rely on this part for long-term supply continuity.

Q: Can I use 74VHC86FT as a substitute? A: Yes. 74VHC86FT (Toshiba) provides parametric equivalence with matching logic function, electrical specifications, and 14-TSSOP packaging. Operating temperature range is identical (-40°C to 85°C). This part is suitable for direct substitution.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to all listed substitute parts? A: All substitute parts listed carry ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level). Specific automotive qualification (AEC-Q100) applies only to 74AHC86PW-Q100J and NLVVHC86DTR2G.
