SN74HC4060D Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SN74HC4060D is a 14-bit binary counter IC manufactured by Texas Instruments in a 16-SOIC surface mount package. This logic component operates as a negative edge-triggered counter with asynchronous reset and timing characteristics. The part is currently in Last Time Buy status, indicating end-of-life production. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to ensure design continuity, maintain supply chain flexibility, and support long-term product availability across manufacturing and maintenance cycles.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SN74HC4060D is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Logic Type & Bit Configuration: Binary Counter, 1 Element, 14 Bit per Element
• Trigger Mechanism: Negative Edge triggered
• Reset Function: Asynchronous reset capability
• Electrical Specifications: Supply voltage range 2 V ~ 6 V, operating temperature range compatibility
• Package Compatibility: 16-SOIC surface mount package (0.154", 3.90mm Width)
• Compliance Standards: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, MSL 1

Substitute parts are grouped into three categories:

1. MFR Recommended Substitutes – Direct replacements from primary manufacturers with identical or superior specifications and active product status
2. Direct Manufacturer Equivalents – Parts from alternative manufacturers meeting all electrical and mechanical parameters
3. Parametric Equivalents – Parts with identical functional characteristics but different base product numbers

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: SN74HC4060DR

The SN74HC4060DR from Texas Instruments is the direct active-status replacement for the SN74HC4060D. It maintains identical electrical specifications (33 MHz count rate, -40°C ~ 85°C operating range) and package configuration (16-SOIC). The part is in Active product status with higher inventory availability (5353 units). Packaging is available in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel formats, supporting both prototype and production workflows.

Secondary Recommendation: 74HC4060D,653 or 74HC4060D-Q100,118 (Nexperia USA Inc.)

Both Nexperia variants are in Active product status with superior count rate performance (95 MHz vs. 33 MHz) and extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C vs. -40°C ~ 85°C). The 74HC4060D-Q100,118 variant includes AEC-Q100 automotive qualification, suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability. These parts are pin-compatible and functionally equivalent within the 16-SOIC package.

Tertiary Recommendation: MC74HC4060ADR2G (onsemi)

The MC74HC4060ADR2G from onsemi is in Active product status with the highest inventory level (15200 units). It provides 50 MHz count rate and extended temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). This part is suitable for applications requiring wider temperature operation and is available in Tape & Reel packaging for production volumes.

Not Recommended for New Designs:

• MC74HC4060ADG (onsemi) – Obsolete status
• NLV74HC4060ADR2G (onsemi) – Obsolete status
• SN74HC4020D (Texas Instruments) – Discontinued at DiGi Electronics

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use SN74HC4060DR as a direct replacement for SN74HC4060D?

A: Yes. The SN74HC4060DR is the active-status equivalent from Texas Instruments. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (33 MHz count rate, 2 V ~ 6 V supply, -40°C ~ 85°C operating range) and 16-SOIC package configuration. The primary difference is packaging format (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel vs. Tube) and product status (Active vs. Last Time Buy).

Q: What is the difference between the Nexperia 74HC4060D,653 and 74HC4060D-Q100,118 variants?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent 14-bit binary counters in 16-SOIC packages from Nexperia. The 74HC4060D-Q100,118 includes AEC-Q100 automotive qualification and is intended for automotive applications. Both offer superior count rate (95 MHz) and extended temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C) compared to the original SN74HC4060D.

Q: Are there temperature range limitations when substituting with Nexperia or onsemi parts?

A: The original SN74HC4060D operates from -40°C ~ 85°C. Nexperia and onsemi substitutes extend the upper temperature limit to 125°C, and onsemi parts extend the lower limit to -55°C. These extended ranges are backward compatible; parts rated for wider temperature ranges function correctly within the original specification window.

Q: What packaging options are available for substitute parts?

A: Substitute parts are available in multiple packaging formats: Tube (SN74HC4060D, MC74HC4060ADG), Cut Tape (NLV74HC4060ADR2G), Tape & Reel (74HC4060D,653; 74HC4060D-Q100,118; MC74HC4060ADR2G), and Cut Tape & Digi-Reel (SN74HC4060DR). Select packaging based on order quantity and manufacturing workflow requirements.

Q: Is the SN74HC4020D a suitable substitute?

A: The SN74HC4020D is a parametric equivalent with identical count rate (33 MHz) and temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C). However, it uses a different base product number (74HC4020 vs. 74HC4060), indicating a different internal counter configuration. It is not a direct pin-for-pin replacement and should not be used as a substitute without circuit redesign verification.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet RoHS3 and REACH compliance?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, matching the compliance status of the original SN74HC4060D. Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) is 1 (Unlimited) across all variants.
