The recommended operating condition for the following parts: The TI 74HC4053 Vcc - GND is 2 volts to 6 volts. For the Nexperia 74HC4053 Vcc - GND is 2 volts to 10 volts. I had though that these two parts were equivalent. But this specifications indicates that they are not the same. Can anyone explain this? Or am I reading the data sheets incorrectly.
Both datasheets take the trouble to show a graph of the supply voltages operating area, so they definitely are different:
Logic devices in the HC family devices are designed for voltages from 2 to 6 V. The HC4053 is special because it handles both digital and analog signals, and has a separate analog ground (to be able to handle negative analog signals).
Apparently, Harris used normal HC transistors (6 V) for the digital inputs and analog transistors (10 V) for the analog pass gates, while Philips used analog transistors for both.
