Number of inputs: 1
Output current capability: 24mA minimum (both high and low)
Package type: 14-SOIC form factor
Mounting type: Surface Mount

Voltage and Operating Condition Considerations: The CD74AC04M96E4 specifies a supply voltage range of 1.5V ~ 5.5V with operating temperature range of -55°C ~ 125°C. onsemi variants (74AC04SC, 74AC04SCX, MC74AC04DG, MC74AC04DR2G) operate at 2V ~ 6V with -40°C ~ 85°C temperature range. These differences define the substitution scope: onsemi parts are suitable for applications within the overlapping voltage range (2V ~ 5.5V) and temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C).

Compliance and Certification: All listed parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, MSL Level 1 rating, and identical ECCN/HTSUS classifications, ensuring regulatory equivalence.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: CD74AC04M96 The CD74AC04M96 is the direct active equivalent from Texas Instruments. It maintains identical electrical specifications to the obsolete CD74AC04M96E4, including the full voltage range (1.5V ~ 5.5V), extended temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), and 6.5ns propagation delay. This part carries active product status and ROHS3 compliance. Selection of this part eliminates any design margin considerations and is appropriate for applications requiring the full specified operating envelope.

Secondary Recommendation: MC74AC04DR2G or 74AC04SCX onsemi variants provide active product status with high inventory availability. MC74AC04DR2G offers 55,500 units in stock with Cut Tape packaging, while 74AC04SCX provides 47,750 units. Both maintain the 24mA output current specification and ROHS3 compliance. These parts operate within the overlapping voltage range (2V ~ 5.5V) and temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C). Selection is appropriate for applications that do not require the extended low-temperature operation below -40°C or supply voltages below 2V.

Packaging Considerations: Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging is suitable for automated assembly processes. Tube packaging (74AC04SC, MC74AC04DG) is appropriate for manual handling and lower-volume applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can onsemi parts directly replace the CD74AC04M96E4 in all applications? A: onsemi variants are functionally equivalent within the overlapping operating range of 2V ~ 5.5V supply voltage and -40°C ~ 85°C temperature. Applications requiring supply voltages below 2V or operating temperatures below -40°C must use the Texas Instruments CD74AC04M96 or CD74AC04M96E4.

Q: What is the difference between 74AC04SCX and MC74AC04DR2G? A: Both parts are onsemi 6-channel inverters in 14-SOIC packaging with identical electrical specifications. The primary differences are quiescent current (74AC04SCX: 2 µA vs. MC74AC04DR2G: 4 µA) and inventory availability (74AC04SCX: 47,750 units vs. MC74AC04DR2G: 55,500 units). Selection depends on power consumption requirements and supply chain availability.

Q: Why is the CD74AC04M96E4 listed as obsolete? A: The CD74AC04M96E4 designation includes the "E4" suffix indicating a specific manufacturing date code or packaging variant. The active equivalent CD74AC04M96 provides the same functionality with current production status and ongoing manufacturer support.

Q: Are all listed parts ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. All substitute parts listed maintain ROHS3 compliance, MSL Level 1 rating, and identical regulatory classifications (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8542.39.0001).

Q: What packaging options are available for high-volume production? A: Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging is standard for automated assembly. CD74AC04M96, 74AC04SCX, and MC74AC04DR2G offer this packaging option with inventory quantities suitable for production runs.
