Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SN74ACT86NSRG4 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Logic Type: XOR (Exclusive OR) with 4 channels and 2 inputs per channel
• Electrical Specifications: 4.5V ~ 5.5V supply voltage, 4 µA quiescent current, 24mA output drive capability, 9.5ns propagation delay
• Package Type: 14-SOIC surface mount package with identical physical dimensions
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating

The SN74ACT86NSR meets all these criteria as a parametric equivalent, differing only in packaging format (Tape & Reel versus individual packaging) and product status (Active versus Discontinued).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SN74ACT86NSR is a direct parametric equivalent to the SN74ACT86NSRG4. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, operating characteristics, and physical package dimensions. The primary distinction is product status: the SN74ACT86NSRG4 is discontinued, while the SN74ACT86NSR remains in active production.

For new designs and ongoing production requirements, the SN74ACT86NSR is the appropriate selection. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating, ensuring compatibility with standard manufacturing and storage protocols. The packaging format difference (Tape & Reel versus individual) does not affect electrical performance or pin compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SN74ACT86NSR be used as a direct replacement for the SN74ACT86NSRG4?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in electrical specifications, logic function, operating temperature range, and 14-SOIC package dimensions. The only differences are product status and packaging format.

Q: What is the difference between the SN74ACT86NSRG4 and SN74ACT86NSR packaging?

A: The SN74ACT86NSRG4 uses individual packaging, while the SN74ACT86NSR is supplied in Tape & Reel format. Both contain the same die and are functionally equivalent. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for high-volume production.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL Level 1 rating. They meet identical regulatory and environmental standards.

Q: What are the critical parameters for XOR gate substitution?

A: Logic type (XOR with 4 channels, 2 inputs), supply voltage range (4.5V ~ 5.5V), output drive capability (24mA), propagation delay (9.5ns @ 5V, 50pF), and package type (14-SOIC) must remain constant for functional equivalence.

Q: Is the SN74ACT86NSR available in higher quantities?

A: Yes. The SN74ACT86NSR has 10,431 pieces in stock compared to 1,098 pieces for the discontinued SN74ACT86NSRG4, making it the preferred choice for production applications.
