CD74ACT541SM96 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CD74ACT541SM96 is a non-inverting buffer logic integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed for 3-state output applications in digital systems. This device operates across a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and is housed in a 20-SSOP surface mount package. The part is currently in active production status with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, lead time constraints, or specific application requirements while maintaining functional and electrical equivalence.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CD74ACT541SM96 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Logic Function: Buffer, Non-Inverting with identical element and bit configuration (1 Element, 8 Bits per Element)
• Output Characteristics: 3-State output with matching current specifications (24mA high and low)
• Supply Voltage: 4.5V to 5.5V operating range
• Base Product Number: 74ACT series designation
• Compliance: RoHS3 compliance and EAR99 ECCN classification
• Mounting: Surface mount technology with compatible package footprints

The 74ACT541MTCX from onsemi qualifies as a manufacturer-recommended substitute based on these parameters. Package differences (20-SSOP versus 20-TSSOP) represent acceptable mechanical variations within the same footprint family, provided PCB layout accommodates the dimensional tolerance of 0.209" versus 0.173" width specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the CD74ACT541SM96 and 74ACT541MTCX maintain active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected classification. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Primary Consideration: Operating temperature range. The CD74ACT541SM96 supports -55°C to 125°C, while the 74ACT541MTCX operates within -40°C to 85°C. Applications requiring extended low-temperature operation below -40°C or high-temperature operation above 85°C must use the Texas Instruments device.

Secondary Consideration: Package dimensions. The 20-TSSOP package of the 74ACT541MTCX is narrower (0.173" versus 0.209"), which may provide layout advantages in space-constrained designs. PCB footprint compatibility must be verified prior to substitution.

Both devices share identical electrical specifications for supply voltage, output current, and logic function, ensuring functional interchangeability within their respective temperature operating ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 74ACT541MTCX replace the CD74ACT541SM96 in all applications?

A: Functional replacement is possible only when the application operating temperature remains within -40°C to 85°C. Applications requiring operation below -40°C or above 85°C must use the CD74ACT541SM96.

Q: Are the 20-SSOP and 20-TSSOP packages pin-compatible?

A: Both packages maintain identical pin configurations and pitch. The primary difference is package width (0.209" versus 0.173"). PCB footprints must accommodate the specific package width; direct footprint substitution may not be possible without layout modification.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the CD74ACT541SM96 and 74ACT541MTCX are RoHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 with identical HTSUS codes.

Q: What are the output current specifications for both devices?

A: Both devices provide 24mA output current for high and low states, ensuring identical drive capability for connected logic circuits.

Q: Is moisture sensitivity a factor in selecting between these parts?

A: No. Both devices carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture-related handling restrictions during storage or assembly.
