CD74HC4060M Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CD74HC4060M is a 14-bit binary counter logic IC manufactured by Texas Instruments in a 16-SOIC surface mount package. This part is designated as Last Time Buy, indicating end-of-life status. The device functions as a negative edge-triggered counter with asynchronous reset capability, operating across a 2V to 6V supply range and supporting count rates up to 35 MHz. Finding equivalent and substitute parts is necessary due to the Last Time Buy status, which restricts future availability and procurement flexibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the CD74HC4060M is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: Logic Type (Binary Counter), Number of Bits per Element (14 Bit), Trigger Type (Negative Edge), Reset configuration (Asynchronous), Voltage Supply range (2V to 6V minimum), Package type (16-SOIC), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1). Count rate variations are acceptable provided the substitute meets or exceeds the minimum 35 MHz requirement. Operating temperature range may vary between -55°C to -40°C minimum and 125°C maximum. Substitute parts are grouped by manufacturer and product status to reflect current availability and long-term sourcing viability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For active production and new designs, CD74HC4060M96 (Texas Instruments, Active status) provides direct functional equivalence with identical electrical specifications and maintains the original -55°C to 125°C temperature range. This part is the manufacturer-recommended successor and offers the highest long-term availability.

MC74HC4060ADR2G (onsemi, Active status) is a qualified alternative with enhanced count rate performance (50 MHz versus 35 MHz) and maintains full parameter compatibility. This part is available in high volume on Tape & Reel packaging.

74HC4060D,653 (Nexperia USA Inc., Active status) offers superior count rate capability (95 MHz) with ROHS3 compliance and AEC-Q100 qualification path through the STMicroelectronics variant. Operating temperature minimum is -40°C, which is acceptable for most industrial applications.

M74HC4060YRM13TR (STMicroelectronics, Active status) includes AEC-Q100 automotive qualification and is suitable for automotive and high-reliability applications. Count rate is 65 MHz with -40°C to 125°C operating range.

MC74HC4060ADG (onsemi, Obsolete status) and CD74HC4020M (Texas Instruments, Obsolete status) are not recommended for new designs due to end-of-life designation, despite functional equivalence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CD74HC4060M96 be used as a direct replacement for CD74HC4060M?

A: Yes. CD74HC4060M96 is the manufacturer-recommended active equivalent with identical electrical specifications, package type (16-SOIC), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). The primary difference is packaging format: CD74HC4060M is supplied in Tube, while CD74HC4060M96 is supplied in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel format.

Q: What is the difference between 74HC4060 and 74HC4020 variants?

A: Both are 14-bit binary counters with identical electrical and functional specifications. The base product numbers differ (74HC4060 versus 74HC4020), but they are functionally equivalent for this application. CD74HC4020M is listed as Obsolete and should not be selected for new designs.

Q: Are onsemi and Nexperia parts compatible with Texas Instruments CD74HC4060M?

A: Yes. MC74HC4060ADR2G (onsemi) and 74HC4060D,653 (Nexperia) are functionally equivalent across all critical parameters: 14-bit binary counter, negative edge trigger, asynchronous reset, 2V to 6V supply, 16-SOIC package, and ROHS3 compliance. Count rate and temperature range variations are within acceptable engineering tolerances.

Q: Does the higher count rate of Nexperia (95 MHz) or STMicroelectronics (65 MHz) parts affect compatibility?

A: No. Higher count rate capability is a performance enhancement that does not affect functional compatibility. These parts will operate correctly in applications designed for the 35 MHz CD74HC4060M, with improved timing margin.

Q: What packaging format should I select for production?

A: CD74HC4060M96 (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel) and MC74HC4060ADR2G (Tape & Reel) are preferred for high-volume production due to automated handling compatibility. Tube packaging (CD74HC4060M, MC74HC4060ADG) is suitable for lower-volume or manual assembly operations.

Q: Is the STMicroelectronics M74HC4060YRM13TR suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes. M74HC4060YRM13TR includes AEC-Q100 automotive qualification and is suitable for automotive-grade applications requiring enhanced reliability certification.

Q: What is the impact of the -40°C minimum operating temperature on Nexperia and STMicroelectronics parts?

A: The -40°C minimum (versus -55°C for Texas Instruments variants) is acceptable for most industrial and commercial applications. Selection depends on specific system temperature requirements. If operation below -40°C is required, use CD74HC4060M96 or MC74HC4060ADR2G.
