SN74HC02: Comparing SN74HC02PWR and SN74HC02PWRE4

Part Number: SN74HC02
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SN74LVC1GX04, SN74HCU04

In the past we have ordered SN74HC02PWRE4, and designed a clock circuit with it. Recently it appears we have been ordering SN74HC02PWR and it may be causing issue with our circuit. We are guessing it's a impedance mismatch. We are attempting to create a circuit that produces a 4Mhz signal, with the recent part SN74HC02PWR it has failed to do so only producing about 68Khz.  I have looked at both spec sheets and could not find a difference in characteristics.

I was wondering if there is a difference between these two parts. 

Below is a section of circuitry that we are trying to make.

U88 is the component in question. It is receiving a 5V VCC the circuit powers a clock signal to 6 other devices, they are not causing this error.

below are some captures

This is the expected waveform at Pin 11/12 using SN74HC02PWRE4

  • Frequency is 4 MHz
  • Pk-Pk is about 4.8V

This is the waveform at Pin 11/12 using SN74HC02PWR 

  • Frequency is 38.37 kHz.
  • Pk-Pk is about 1.04V

Below is the output Pin 13 using SN74HC02PWRE4

  • Frequency is 4 MHz
  • Pk-Pk is about 8.4V
  • Rise time is 3.8ns

Below is the output pin 13 using SN74HC02PWR 

  • Frequency is 67.16 kHz.
  • Pk-Pk is about 8.48V
  • Rise time is 3.67ns

When changing the resistor R184 from 1M to 100k ohms, this fixes the issues, but I cannot proceed with the changes unit I determine what may have caused this. Changing a resistor might suggest in changes in impedance within the SN74HC02PWR .

Hope to hear from you soon.
