CD74HC86M96 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CD74HC86M96 is a 4-channel XOR (Exclusive OR) logic gate IC manufactured by Texas Instruments in 14-SOIC surface mount packaging. This part operates across a 2V to 6V supply voltage range with a maximum propagation delay of 20ns at 6V with 50pF load. The device is currently active in production with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Substitute parts are necessary when the primary part becomes unavailable, when alternative packaging formats are required for manufacturing processes, or when design specifications allow for functionally equivalent alternatives from different manufacturers that meet the same electrical and mechanical parameters.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CD74HC86M96 is determined by the following criteria:

Primary Substitution Parameters:

Logic Type: XOR (Exclusive OR)
Number of Circuits: 4
Number of Inputs: 2
Voltage Supply Range: 2V ~ 6V (minimum requirement)
Package / Case: 14-SOIC or 14-SO (mechanically compatible)
Mounting Type: Surface Mount

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

Current - Output High/Low: 5.2mA / 5.2mA
Input Logic Level - Low: 0.5V ~ 1.8V
Input Logic Level - High: 1.5V ~ 4.2V
Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C (or subset thereof)

Parts are grouped as direct substitutes when all primary parameters match and secondary parameters are equal or superior. Parts with identical electrical specifications but different packaging formats (Cut Tape vs. Tape & Reel vs. Bulk) are functionally equivalent for circuit design purposes but differ in supply chain and manufacturing handling.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Tier 1 - Direct Substitutes (Identical Electrical Performance):

MC74HC86ADG (onsemi) and MC74HC86ADR2G (Fairchild Semiconductor) are direct substitutes with superior performance characteristics: lower quiescent current (1 µA vs. 2 µA) and faster propagation delay (17ns vs. 20ns). Both maintain the full operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) and ROHS3 compliance. These parts are active in production with high inventory availability.

Tier 2 - Functional Substitutes (Equivalent Core Function, Temperature Derating):

MM74HC86MX and MM74HC86M (Fairchild Semiconductor) provide identical electrical specifications to the CD74HC86M96 but with a reduced operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C). These are suitable for applications not requiring the full -55°C lower temperature specification. Both are active in production.

74HC86D,653 and 74HC86D-Q100,118 (Nexperia USA Inc.) maintain full electrical equivalence with operating temperature range of -40°C ~ 125°C. The Q100,118 variant includes AEC-Q100 automotive qualification. Both are active in production with ROHS3 compliance.

Tier 3 - Performance-Enhanced Substitute:

74HC86S14-13 (Diodes Incorporated) offers superior propagation delay (15ns vs. 20ns) but with elevated quiescent current (20 µA vs. 2 µA). This part is suitable for applications prioritizing speed over power consumption. Operating temperature range is -40°C ~ 125°C. Active in production with highest inventory availability (47,800 pcs).

Tier 4 - Obsolete/Discontinued:

CD74HC86MT (Texas Instruments) is discontinued at DiGi Electronics and NLV74HC86ADG (onsemi) is obsolete. These should not be selected for new designs unless existing inventory is available and supply chain continuity is not a concern.

Packaging Consideration:

CD74HC86M96 uses Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel packaging. Equivalent parts are available in Tape & Reel (TR), Bulk, and Tube formats. Packaging selection depends on manufacturing process requirements and volume specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MC74HC86ADG replace CD74HC86M96 directly in circuit design?

A: Yes. MC74HC86ADG is a direct functional substitute with identical logic type, circuit count, input count, and voltage supply range. It maintains the same 14-SOIC package footprint and offers superior electrical performance (lower quiescent current and faster propagation delay). Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating.

Q: What is the difference between 14-SOIC and 14-SO packaging?

A: Both designations refer to 14-pin surface mount packages with 0.154" (3.90mm) width. The packages are mechanically compatible for PCB assembly. The designation difference reflects manufacturer nomenclature variations. Parts in either package format are interchangeable at the circuit board level.

Q: Why does 74HC86S14-13 have higher quiescent current than the main part?

A: 74HC86S14-13 is manufactured by Diodes Incorporated with different process technology that results in 20 µA quiescent current versus 2 µA for the CD74HC86M96. This trade-off provides faster propagation delay (15ns vs. 20ns). Selection depends on whether the application prioritizes low power consumption or high-speed operation.

Q: Can I use MM74HC86MX in applications requiring -55°C operation?

A: No. MM74HC86MX has a minimum operating temperature of -40°C. For applications requiring -55°C operation, select MC74HC86ADG, MC74HC86ADR2G, or MC74HC86ADG, which all specify -55°C ~ 125°C operating range.

Q: What does AEC-Q100 qualification mean for 74HC86D-Q100,118?

A: AEC-Q100 is an automotive industry qualification standard. The 74HC86D-Q100,118 variant meets automotive-grade reliability and testing requirements. This part is suitable for automotive applications requiring qualified components. Non-automotive applications can use any active substitute without this requirement.

Q: Is NLV74HC86ADG still available for new designs?

A: No. NLV74HC86ADG is listed as obsolete. While 848 pcs remain in inventory, this part should not be selected for new designs. Use active alternatives such as MC74HC86ADG or MC74HC86ADR2G instead.

Q: Do all substitute parts have ROHS3 compliance?

A: Most active substitutes are ROHS3 compliant. MC74HC86ADR2G and MM74HC86MX do not list RoHS status in provided specifications. Verify RoHS compliance with the manufacturer if this certification is required for your application.
