CD74ACT00M96E4 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CD74ACT00M96E4 is a NAND Gate IC with 4 channels and 2 inputs per channel, packaged in a 14-SOIC surface mount configuration. Manufactured by Texas Instruments, this component operates within the 74ACT logic family and is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete status and limited availability relative to active alternatives, identifying equivalent and substitute parts is essential for design continuity and procurement flexibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CD74ACT00M96E4 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Logic Type: NAND Gate (4 channels, 2 inputs per channel)
• Package: 14-SOIC form factor
• Voltage Supply Range: 4.5V ~ 5.5V
• Input/Output Logic Levels: 0.8V (low), 2V (high)
• Output Current Capability: 24mA (high and low)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Base Product Number: 74ACT00

All substitute parts listed maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring functional and physical compatibility. Variations in propagation delay, quiescent current, and operating temperature range are noted but do not preclude substitution when application requirements permit.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications requiring the CD74ACT00M96E4, the following selection criteria apply:

Active Status Priority: The 74ACT00SCX (Fairchild Semiconductor), MC74ACT00DG (onsemi), and MC74ACT00DR2G (onsemi) are all active products and represent the preferred substitutes due to ongoing manufacturer support and availability.

RoHS Compliance: If RoHS3 compliance is required, select from MC74ACT00DG, MC74ACT00DR2G, or the original CD74ACT00M96E4. The CD74ACT00M96 (Harris Corporation) is RoHS non-compliant and should be avoided in applications with RoHS requirements.

Operating Temperature Range: Applications requiring the full -55°C ~ 125°C operating range should use CD74ACT00M96E4, CD74ACT00M96, MC74ACT00DG, or MC74ACT00DR2G. The 74ACT00SCX operates only to -40°C ~ 85°C and is unsuitable for extended low-temperature applications.

Propagation Delay: The 74ACT00SCX, MC74ACT00DG, and MC74ACT00DR2G offer improved propagation delay (9ns) compared to the original specification (13.2ns). These parts are suitable for timing-critical applications.

Packaging Format: MC74ACT00DR2G is supplied in Tape & Reel format, suitable for high-volume automated assembly. MC74ACT00DG is supplied in Tube format. Select based on procurement and assembly requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute the CD74ACT00M96E4 with any of the listed parts?

A: All listed parts are electrically and mechanically compatible based on the core parameters: NAND gate logic, 4 channels, 2 inputs per channel, 14-SOIC package, and 4.5V ~ 5.5V supply voltage. However, verify operating temperature range and RoHS compliance requirements for your specific application.

Q: What is the difference between CD74ACT00M96E4 and CD74ACT00M96?

A: Both parts are functionally identical with matching electrical specifications. The primary difference is manufacturer: CD74ACT00M96E4 is from Texas Instruments (ROHS3 compliant), while CD74ACT00M96 is from Harris Corporation (RoHS non-compliant). Both are obsolete.

Q: Why do some substitutes have faster propagation delay?

A: The 74ACT00SCX, MC74ACT00DG, and MC74ACT00DR2G exhibit 9ns propagation delay versus the original 13.2ns. This represents improved performance and does not affect compatibility; these parts will function correctly in applications designed for the original specification.

Q: Are the onsemi parts (MC74ACT00DG and MC74ACT00DR2G) interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both are from onsemi, share identical electrical specifications, and differ only in packaging format: MC74ACT00DG is Tube, MC74ACT00DR2G is Tape & Reel. Select based on assembly and procurement requirements.

Q: What does the 14-SOIC package specification mean?

A: 14-SOIC refers to a 14-pin Small Outline Integrated Circuit package with 0.154 inches (3.90mm) width. All listed substitutes use this identical package, ensuring direct physical compatibility on PCBs designed for the CD74ACT00M96E4.

Q: Is the 74ACT00SCX suitable for my application if it requires -55°C operation?

A: No. The 74ACT00SCX operates only to -40°C minimum. For applications requiring -55°C operation, use CD74ACT00M96E4, CD74ACT00M96, MC74ACT00DG, or MC74ACT00DR2G.
