Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SN74AS760NS are qualified based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitution criteria are strictly limited to the following parameters that must match exactly:

• Logic Type: Buffer, Non-Inverting
• Number of Elements: 2
• Number of Bits per Element: 4
• Output Type: Open Collector
• Current - Output Low: 64mA
• Voltage - Supply: 4.5V ~ 5.5V
• Operating Temperature: 0°C ~ 70°C (TA)
• Package / Case: 20-SOIC (0.209", 5.30mm Width)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Base Product Number: 74AS760

Packaging format (Tube, Tape & Reel) represents a secondary variation and does not affect functional equivalence. All qualified substitutes maintain identical electrical performance and physical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SN74AS760NS is designated Last Time Buy status. For new designs or long-term production requirements, SN74AS760NSR is the recommended primary substitute. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering Active product status, ensuring continued manufacturer support and extended availability.

SN74AS760NSE4 provides parametric equivalence with identical functional characteristics and is available as a secondary option. Both substitutes are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL Level 1 rating, matching the original part's environmental compliance profile.

Selection between tube and tape & reel packaging formats depends on assembly process requirements and procurement volume. Electrical and functional performance remains identical across all three part numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SN74AS760NSR be used as a direct replacement for SN74AS760NS?

A: Yes. SN74AS760NSR is functionally and electrically identical to SN74AS760NS. Both parts share the same logic configuration (Buffer, Non-Inverting, 2 elements, 4 bits per element), output type (Open Collector), current rating (64mA), supply voltage range (4.5V ~ 5.5V), operating temperature range (0°C ~ 70°C), and package specification (20-SOIC). The primary difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Tube) and product status (Active versus Last Time Buy).

Q: What is the difference between SN74AS760NS and SN74AS760NSE4?

A: Both parts are parametrically equivalent with identical electrical specifications and package dimensions. The difference lies in product status: SN74AS760NS is Last Time Buy while SN74AS760NSE4 is also Last Time Buy. Both are available in Tube packaging. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and procurement timeline.

Q: Are packaging format differences significant for circuit design?

A: No. Tube and Tape & Reel packaging formats represent different supply methods for the same component. The physical package (20-SOIC) and all electrical characteristics remain identical. Packaging selection is determined by assembly process requirements and volume considerations, not by circuit design or performance.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. SN74AS760NS, SN74AS760NSR, and SN74AS760NSE4 are all ROHS3 compliant and carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) rating. All parts are REACH Unaffected and classified under ECCN EAR99.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new production designs?

A: SN74AS760NSR is the recommended choice for new designs due to its Active product status, which ensures ongoing manufacturer support and extended procurement availability. This part provides identical performance to the original SN74AS760NS while offering superior long-term supply assurance.
