SN74LV04ANS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SN74LV04ANS is a 6-channel inverter logic IC manufactured by Texas Instruments in a 14-SO surface mount package. This device is classified as Last Time Buy, indicating discontinued production with limited availability. The SN74LV04ANS operates across a wide supply voltage range of 2V to 5.5V and is designed for low-power digital logic applications requiring signal inversion.

Due to Last Time Buy status, identifying equivalent substitute parts is essential for design continuity and long-term component sourcing. The SN74LV04ANSR provides an active production alternative with compatible electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between the SN74LV04ANS and SN74LV04ANSR is determined by the following criteria:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Identical logic function (6-channel inverter)
• Identical supply voltage range (2V ~ 5.5V)
• Identical quiescent current specification (20 µA max)
• Identical output current ratings (12mA high, 12mA low)
• Identical propagation delay (7.5ns @ 5V, 50pF)

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Identical package type (14-SOIC)
• Identical physical dimensions (0.209", 5.30mm width)
• Identical mounting type (Surface Mount)

Compliance & Certification:

• Both ROHS3 compliant
• Both MSL Level 1 (Unlimited)
• Both REACH Unaffected
• Both EAR99 classification

The SN74LV04ANSR qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical electrical parameters, identical package specifications, and equivalent compliance certifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: SN74LV04ANSR

The SN74LV04ANSR is the recommended substitute for new designs and component replenishment. This part maintains Active product status with ongoing manufacturer support and availability. All critical electrical parameters match the SN74LV04ANS, ensuring functional equivalence in circuit applications.

Operating Temperature Consideration:

The SN74LV04ANSR specifies an operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, compared to the SN74LV04ANS range of -40°C to 125°C. Applications requiring operation above 85°C must retain the SN74LV04ANS or evaluate alternative logic families. For standard industrial and commercial temperature ranges, the SN74LV04ANSR is fully compatible.

Compliance & Certification:

Both parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance, MSL Level 1 rating, and REACH Unaffected status, ensuring regulatory equivalence for procurement and manufacturing processes.

Packaging & Availability:

The SN74LV04ANSR is supplied in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel packaging formats with 5000 pieces in current inventory, providing reliable supply chain access compared to the Last Time Buy status of the SN74LV04ANS.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SN74LV04ANSR directly replace the SN74LV04ANS in existing designs?

A: Yes, for applications operating within the -40°C to 85°C temperature range. The SN74LV04ANSR provides identical electrical performance, package specifications, and compliance certifications. Designs requiring operation above 85°C must verify temperature requirements before substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the packaging formats?

A: The SN74LV04ANS is supplied in Tube packaging, while the SN74LV04ANSR is available in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel formats. All three formats contain the same die and electrical specifications. Selection depends on manufacturing assembly requirements and volume handling preferences.

Q: Are there any input logic level differences between these parts?

A: The SN74LV04ANS specifies input logic levels of 0.1V to 0.55V (low) and 1.9V to 3.8V (high). The SN74LV04ANSR specifies 0.5V (low) and 1.5V (high). Both operate within the same 2V to 5.5V supply voltage range and are compatible with standard CMOS logic levels in typical applications.

Q: Why is the SN74LV04ANS marked as Last Time Buy?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates Texas Instruments has discontinued production of this specific part number variant. The SN74LV04ANSR represents the active production equivalent, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support for future component needs.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both the SN74LV04ANS and SN74LV04ANSR are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for applications requiring lead-free manufacturing processes.
