Engineering Selection Recommendations

SN74AC373PWR (Texas Instruments): This part is the direct Texas Instruments equivalent with active product status. It maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the SN74AC373PW. The primary distinction is packaging format (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel versus Tube), with significantly higher inventory availability (50,200 units). This part is suitable for applications requiring continued Texas Instruments sourcing and support.

MC74AC373DTR2G (onsemi): This part is the manufacturer-recommended substitute from onsemi, offering equivalent functionality with active product status. It meets all electrical and mechanical requirements of the original part. The packaging format is Tape & Reel (TR), with moderate inventory availability (3,969 units). This option provides cross-manufacturer compatibility while maintaining full specification compliance.

Both substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry identical electrical performance characteristics. Selection between substitutes should be based on supply chain requirements, packaging preferences, and manufacturer sourcing strategy.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SN74AC373PWR be used as a direct replacement for SN74AC373PW? A: Yes.
