SN74HC4060PW Binary Counter IC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SN74HC4060PW is a 14-bit binary counter IC manufactured by Texas Instruments in a 16-TSSOP surface mount package. This device functions as a negative edge-triggered counter with asynchronous reset, operating across a 2V to 6V supply range. 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 and maintain supply chain reliability for applications requiring 14-bit binary counting functionality.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution validity for the SN74HC4060PW is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Logic Function: All substitutes must implement 14-bit binary counter functionality with negative edge triggering and asynchronous reset
• Package Compatibility: All substitutes must use 16-TSSOP surface mount packaging with identical pinout and mechanical dimensions (0.173", 4.40mm width)
• Electrical Specifications: Supply voltage range (2V to 6V) and operating temperature range must be met or exceeded
• Compliance Standards: RoHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating are maintained across all substitutes

The substitute parts are grouped into three categories based on manufacturer and product status: Texas Instruments active alternatives, Nexperia active alternatives (including automotive-qualified variants), and onsemi alternatives (including obsolete variants).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: SN74HC4060PWR (Texas Instruments)

The SN74HC4060PWR is the direct active equivalent from the original manufacturer. It maintains identical electrical specifications and operating parameters as the SN74HC4060PW while offering active product status and improved supply availability. The packaging format (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel) provides flexibility for both prototype and production quantities.

Secondary Recommendation: 74HC4060PW,118 (Nexperia USA Inc.)

The 74HC4060PW,118 provides enhanced performance characteristics with a 95 MHz count rate and extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C). This part is suitable for applications requiring higher speed operation or wider temperature margins. Active product status ensures long-term availability.

Automotive Applications: 74HC4060PW-Q100,11 (Nexperia USA Inc.)

For automotive or AEC-Q100 qualified designs, the 74HC4060PW-Q100,11 is the appropriate selection. This variant maintains the same 14-bit counter functionality while meeting automotive qualification standards and offering the highest count rate (95 MHz) and widest operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C).

Extended Temperature Range: MC74HC4060ADTR2G (onsemi)

The MC74HC4060ADTR2G supports the widest operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) and is suitable for industrial or extreme environment applications. Active product status and Tape & Reel packaging support production requirements.

Avoid: MC74HC4060ADTG and NLVHC4060ADTR2G are obsolete variants and should not be selected for new designs despite current inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute SN74HC4060PW with SN74HC4060PWR?

A: Yes. Both parts are Texas Instruments 14-bit binary counters with identical electrical specifications, pinout, and 16-TSSOP packaging. The primary difference is packaging format (Tube vs. Cut Tape & Digi-Reel) and product status (Last Time Buy vs. Active). SN74HC4060PWR is the recommended active alternative.

Q: What is the difference between Nexperia's 74HC4060PW,118 and 74HC4060PW-Q100,11?

A: Both are Nexperia 14-bit binary counters with identical 16-TSSOP packaging and 95 MHz count rate. The 74HC4060PW-Q100,11 includes AEC-Q100 automotive qualification and Tape & Reel packaging, making it suitable for automotive applications. The 74HC4060PW,118 is the standard industrial variant with Cut Tape & Digi-Reel packaging.

Q: Are onsemi parts MC74HC4060ADTR2G and MC74HC4060ADTG direct replacements?

A: The MC74HC4060ADTR2G is a direct functional replacement with active product status. The MC74HC4060ADTG is obsolete and should not be used for new designs. Both maintain the 14-bit counter function, negative edge triggering, and 16-TSSOP packaging, but the MC74HC4060ADTR2G offers superior supply chain reliability.

Q: Do all substitute parts maintain the same pinout?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed use the 16-TSSOP package with identical pinout and mechanical dimensions (0.173", 4.40mm width). Direct PCB layout compatibility is maintained across all substitutes.

Q: Which substitute offers the best performance?

A: The Nexperia variants (74HC4060PW,118 and 74HC4060PW-Q100,11) offer the highest count rate at 95 MHz and the widest operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C). The onsemi MC74HC4060ADTR2G provides the lowest operating temperature floor at -55°C for extreme environment applications.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts maintain RoHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, matching the original SN74HC4060PW specifications.
