SN74ACT86PW XOR Logic IC - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SN74ACT86PW is a 4-channel, 2-input XOR (Exclusive OR) logic integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments in a 14-TSSOP surface mount package. This component is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The SN74ACT86PW serves as a standard logic gate solution for digital circuit designs requiring exclusive OR functionality with TTL-compatible voltage levels.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SN74ACT86PW is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Logic Type: XOR (Exclusive OR) with identical 4-channel, 2-input configuration
• Electrical Specifications: Matching voltage supply range (4.5V ~ 5.5V), quiescent current, output current, input logic levels, and propagation delay
• Package Type: 14-TSSOP surface mount package with identical physical dimensions
• Thermal Range: Operating temperature range of -40°C ~ 85°C
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and MSL rating of 1

The SN74ACT86PWR qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction is packaging format: the main part is supplied as individual units, while the substitute is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both parts share the same base product number (74ACT86) and are manufactured by Texas Instruments.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SN74ACT86PWR is a direct functional and electrical equivalent to the SN74ACT86PW. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance characteristics and are manufactured by Texas Instruments to the same specifications. The SN74ACT86PWR carries Active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability compared to the discontinued SN74ACT86PW.

Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL rating of 1, meeting environmental and moisture sensitivity requirements for standard manufacturing and storage conditions. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements: individual unit format versus Tape & Reel format for automated assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SN74ACT86PWR directly replace the SN74ACT86PW in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. They share the same 14-TSSOP package dimensions, electrical specifications, and operating characteristics. The only difference is the packaging format (individual units versus Tape & Reel).

Q: What is the difference between the SN74ACT86PW and SN74ACT86PWR?

A: The parts are functionally equivalent. The SN74ACT86PW is supplied as individual units, while the SN74ACT86PWR is supplied in Tape & Reel format for high-volume automated assembly. The SN74ACT86PWR also maintains Active product status.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when switching from SN74ACT86PW to SN74ACT86PWR?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both parts use the same 14-TSSOP package with identical pin configuration, voltage requirements (4.5V ~ 5.5V), and logic specifications. PCB layout and circuit design remain unchanged.

Q: What are the key parameters that define substitution for XOR logic ICs?

A: Substitution is determined by matching logic type (XOR with 4 channels, 2 inputs), voltage supply range, quiescent and output current specifications, input logic levels, propagation delay, operating temperature range, and package type. All these parameters must be identical for direct substitution.

Q: Is the SN74ACT86PWR suitable for production environments?

A: Yes. The SN74ACT86PWR is rated as Active and is supplied in Tape & Reel format, which is the standard packaging for high-volume manufacturing and automated assembly processes.
