Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the SN74LVC86ARGYRG4 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Logic Type: XOR (Exclusive OR) with 4 channels and 2 inputs per channel
• Electrical Performance: Voltage supply range 1.65V ~ 3.6V, quiescent current 1 µA maximum, output current 24mA for both high and low states, propagation delay 4.4ns @ 3.3V with 50pF load
• Thermal Range: Operating temperature -40°C ~ 85°C
• Physical Package: 14-VFQFN Exposed Pad surface mount configuration
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 2 (1 Year)

The primary substitute part SN74LVC86ARGYR meets all these criteria and is functionally and electrically identical to the main part number, with the distinction being packaging format (Tape & Reel versus individual unit packaging).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SN74LVC86ARGYR is the direct substitute for the SN74LVC86ARGYRG4. Both parts are manufactured by Texas Instruments with identical electrical specifications, thermal performance, and physical package dimensions. The primary distinction is product status and packaging format: the original part number is discontinued, while the substitute remains in active production status with higher inventory availability (4053 Pcs versus 819 Pcs).

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical MSL ratings, ensuring compatibility with current manufacturing and environmental standards. The Tape & Reel packaging of the substitute part is standard for high-volume production environments and offers no functional or electrical differences from the original part number.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SN74LVC86ARGYR be used as a direct replacement for SN74LVC86ARGYRG4?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and functionally identical with matching voltage supply ranges, output currents, propagation delays, and operating temperature ranges. The only difference is packaging format and product status.

Q: What is the difference between the two part numbers?
