Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the CD74ACT14M96 are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Compatibility: All substitute parts maintain the 74ACT logic family standard with identical supply voltage range (4.5V ~ 5.5V), input logic levels (0.8V low, 2V high), and output drive capability (24mA high and low). All parts feature 6-channel inverter configuration with Schmitt trigger inputs.

Package Compatibility: All substitute parts use 14-SOIC surface mount packaging with identical physical dimensions (0.154", 3.90mm width), ensuring direct PCB footprint compatibility.

Functional Equivalence: All parts are classified as Active status with RoHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating, meeting current regulatory and environmental standards.

Differentiation Parameters: Substitutes vary in manufacturer (Texas Instruments vs. onsemi), packaging format (Tape & Reel, Cut Tape & Digi-Reel, or Tube), quiescent current specifications (2 µA to 4 µA), propagation delay performance (10ns to 14.5ns), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C or -55°C ~ 125°C).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed maintain full electrical and functional equivalence to the CD74ACT14M96 within the 14-SOIC package format. Selection among substitutes is determined by application-specific requirements:

MC74ACT14DR2G offers equivalent quiescent current (4 µA) and improved propagation delay (11.5ns) compared to the primary part, with availability in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel packaging. Operating temperature range is limited to -40°C ~ 85°C.

74ACT14SCX provides the lowest quiescent current specification (2 µA) and fastest propagation delay (10ns), suitable for power-sensitive or timing-critical applications. Operating temperature range is -40°C ~ 85°C.

MC74ACT14DG matches the quiescent current and propagation delay of MC74ACT14DR2G (4 µA, 11.5ns) with Tube packaging format. Operating temperature range is -40°C ~ 85°C.

All parts are Active status products with current RoHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating, confirming suitability for modern manufacturing and environmental standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MC74ACT14DR2G, 74ACT14SCX, and MC74ACT14DG be used interchangeably with CD74ACT14M96 in the same circuit?

A: Yes, all substitute parts are electrically and functionally equivalent within the specified parameters. They share identical supply voltage range (4.5V ~ 5.5V), input logic levels, output drive capability (24mA), and 14-SOIC package dimensions. Direct PCB footprint compatibility is confirmed.

Q: What is the difference in operating temperature range between the main part and substitutes?

A: The CD74ACT14M96 operates across -55°C ~ 125°C, providing extended low-temperature performance. All onsemi substitutes (MC74ACT14DR2G, 74ACT14SCX, MC74ACT14DG) operate within -40°C ~ 85°C. Selection depends on application temperature requirements.

Q: How do propagation delay specifications differ among these parts?

A: Propagation delay at 5V with 50pF load varies: CD74ACT14M96 (14.5ns), MC74ACT14DR2G (11.5ns), 74ACT14SCX (10ns), and MC74ACT14DG (11.5ns). The 74ACT14SCX offers the fastest response time. For timing-critical applications, verify that the selected part meets minimum delay requirements.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these substitutes?

A: CD74ACT14M96 is supplied in Tape & Reel format. MC74ACT14DR2G and 74ACT14SCX are available in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel format. MC74ACT14DG is supplied in Tube format. All maintain identical 14-SOIC physical dimensions.

Q: Are all parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, all listed parts are RoHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, meeting current regulatory requirements for lead-free and hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: Which substitute offers the lowest power consumption?

A: The 74ACT14SCX specifies the lowest quiescent current at 2 µA maximum, compared to 4 µA for other parts. This makes it suitable for battery-powered or low-power applications.
