Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CD74HC85PWR is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

  • Functional equivalence: 4-bit magnitude comparator with identical output functions (A<B, A=B, A>B)
  • Electrical specifications: Supply voltage range 2V to 6V, output current ratings 5.2mA, propagation delay 33ns @ 6V/50pF
  • Package compatibility: 16-TSSOP surface mount package with identical physical dimensions
  • Series classification: 74HC logic family
  • Compliance certifications: ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating

The substitute part 74HC85PW,118 manufactured by Nexperia USA Inc. meets all these criteria and is classified as a manufacturer-recommended equivalent.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 74HC85PW,118 from Nexperia USA Inc. is a direct functional equivalent to the CD74HC85PWR. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance specifications, package geometry, and compliance certifications. The operating temperature range of the Nexperia part extends to -40°C minimum versus -55°C for the Texas Instruments version; this difference is relevant only for applications requiring operation below -40°C. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 ratings, confirming equivalent environmental and handling requirements. Selection between these parts should be based on availability, lead time, and application-specific temperature requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 74HC85PW,118 be used as a direct replacement for the CD74HC85PWR?
