SN74ACT04PW Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SN74ACT04PW is a 6-channel inverter logic IC manufactured by Texas Instruments in a 14-TSSOP surface mount package. This part is currently discontinued at DiGi Electronics. The SN74ACT04PW performs basic logic inversion functions across six independent channels, making it suitable for signal conditioning and logic level conversion applications in digital circuits. Due to its discontinued status, equivalent substitute parts from active product lines are necessary for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SN74ACT04PW is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: logic type (inverter), number of circuits (6), number of inputs (1), supply voltage range (4.5V ~ 5.5V), output current specifications (24mA high and low), input logic thresholds (0.8V low, 2V high), propagation delay (8.5ns @ 5V, 50pF), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C), and package configuration (14-TSSOP surface mount). All substitute parts listed maintain identical functional and electrical specifications. Differences in quiescent current (2µA vs 4µA) and packaging format (tube, cut tape, or tape & reel) do not affect functional equivalence and represent manufacturing and distribution variations only.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications currently using the discontinued SN74ACT04PW, the SN74ACT04PWR from Texas Instruments is the primary substitute, maintaining identical electrical specifications and the same manufacturer source. This part is in active production status and provides continuity with the original design.

The onsemi alternatives 74ACT04MTCX and MC74ACT04DTR2G are functionally equivalent substitutes with active product status. Both parts meet all electrical and mechanical requirements specified for the SN74ACT04PW. Selection between these options depends on packaging format requirements and supply chain availability. All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), and identical operating temperature ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SN74ACT04PWR be used as a direct replacement for SN74ACT04PW?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in electrical specifications, logic function, and package type (14-TSSOP). The primary difference is product status: SN74ACT04PWR is in active production while SN74ACT04PW is discontinued. Packaging format differs (cut tape/Digi-Reel vs. tube), but this does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Are the onsemi parts (74ACT04MTCX and MC74ACT04DTR2G) compatible with the original design?

A: Yes. Both onsemi parts maintain identical electrical specifications including supply voltage (4.5V ~ 5.5V), output current (24mA), propagation delay (8.5ns @ 5V, 50pF), and package configuration (14-TSSOP). They are functionally equivalent substitutes.

Q: What is the difference between the substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts perform identical logic inversion functions. Differences are limited to manufacturer (Texas Instruments vs. onsemi), product status (active vs. discontinued), packaging format (tube, cut tape, or tape & reel), and quiescent current specifications (2µA vs. 4µA). These variations do not affect functional equivalence.

Q: Does packaging format affect compatibility?

A: No. Packaging format (tube, cut tape, tape & reel) relates to distribution and handling only. The physical component package (14-TSSOP) and all electrical specifications remain identical across all substitute options.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All parts listed maintain ROHS3 compliance and are REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.
