SN74HC04ANSRE4 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SN74HC04ANSRE4 is a 6-channel inverter logic IC manufactured by Texas Instruments, housed in a 14-SO surface mount package. This active product operates across a 2V to 6V supply voltage range and is designed for general-purpose digital logic inversion applications. The part is ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), making it suitable for standard industrial and commercial environments. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to provide design flexibility, accommodate supply chain variations, and support alternative packaging or sourcing requirements while maintaining functional and electrical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SN74HC04ANSRE4 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: base product number (74HC04), logic type (Inverter), number of circuits (6), number of inputs (1), supply voltage range (2V ~ 6V), quiescent current (2 µA max), output current specifications (5.2mA high and low), input logic levels, operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1).

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

MFR Recommended Substitute: SN74HC04DR differs in packaging format (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel versus Tape & Reel) and package case dimensions (0.154" width versus 0.209" width), with a maximum propagation delay of 16ns at 6V and 50pF load compared to 13ns for the main part. This part maintains all electrical specifications and is suitable where packaging and delivery format flexibility is required.

Parametric Equivalents: SN74HC04ANSR and SN74HC04ANSRE4 are identical to the main part in all electrical and mechanical specifications, differing only in packaging designation and inventory availability. These parts provide direct functional replacement with no performance variation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed maintain active product status from Texas Instruments and are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating, ensuring compliance with current environmental and reliability standards.

SN74HC04ANSR and SN74HC04ANSRE4 are direct parametric equivalents with identical electrical performance and package dimensions. Selection between these and the main part is based on packaging format preference (Tape & Reel delivery) and inventory availability.

SN74HC04DR is the manufacturer-recommended substitute when Cut Tape and Digi-Reel packaging formats are preferred or required by assembly processes. The maximum propagation delay specification of 16ns at 6V and 50pF load is 3ns longer than the main part; this difference is within typical logic circuit timing margins for non-critical path applications. Package case dimensions are narrower (0.154" versus 0.209" width), which may provide board layout advantages in space-constrained designs.

All parts are suitable for applications requiring 6-channel inverter logic with 2V to 6V supply operation across the -40°C to 85°C temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SN74HC04DR be used as a direct replacement for SN74HC04ANSRE4?

A: Yes. SN74HC04DR is electrically equivalent across all critical parameters including supply voltage, quiescent current, output current, and input logic levels. The 3ns difference in maximum propagation delay (16ns versus 13ns at 6V, 50pF) is a specification variation within the same product family and does not affect functional compatibility in standard logic applications. Package case width differs (0.154" versus 0.209"), which may require PCB layout adjustment but does not impact electrical performance.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape & Digi-Reel packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous carrier tape wound on reels, suitable for high-volume automated assembly. Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging provides the same components on cut tape segments or alternative reel formats, offering flexibility for lower-volume production or mixed-component assembly runs. Electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical; the difference is in delivery and handling format.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. SN74HC04ANSRE4, SN74HC04DR, and SN74HC04ANSR are all ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level), meeting current environmental and reliability requirements for industrial and commercial applications.

Q: Does propagation delay affect circuit timing in my application?

A: Propagation delay specifications (13ns for SN74HC04ANSRE4, SN74HC04ANSR; 16ns for SN74HC04DR) define the maximum time for a logic state change to propagate through the inverter at specified voltage and load conditions. The 3ns difference between parts is typically negligible for general-purpose logic applications. Critical timing-sensitive designs should evaluate propagation delay against system clock frequencies and setup/hold time requirements.

Q: Can I mix different substitute parts in the same design?

A: Yes. All listed parts are functionally equivalent and can be used interchangeably within the same circuit. However, for consistency in procurement, testing, and documentation, using a single part number across a design is recommended.
