Replacement verdict
Compatible functional replacement candidate
The AD8174ARZ and AD8174ARZ-RL are functionally identical 4-channel buffered multiplexers sharing the same die, package, and electrical specifications; the only distinction is the tape-and-reel packaging format of the -RL variant. Either part number can be used interchangeably in the same application, with selection driven solely by assembly and inventory handling preferences.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between AD8174ARZ and AD8174ARZ-RL?
Both parts are the same AD8174 4-channel buffered multiplexer in a 14-lead SOIC package. The AD8174ARZ is supplied in tube packaging, while the AD8174ARZ-RL is supplied in tape-and-reel packaging for automated assembly. Electrical and functional specifications are identical.
Are AD8174ARZ and AD8174ARZ-RL electrically and functionally interchangeable?
Yes. The AD8174ARZ-RL is the tape-and-reel variant of the AD8174ARZ; both share the same die, package, pinout, and datasheet specifications. The only difference is the shipping packaging format.
What package and pinout do AD8174ARZ and AD8174ARZ-RL use?
Both devices are offered in a 14-lead SOIC (R-14) package with the same pin configuration, allowing them to use identical PCB footprints and land patterns.
Which packaging should be selected for high-volume production?
For automated pick-and-place assembly lines, the AD8174ARZ-RL tape-and-reel format is typically preferred. The AD8174ARZ tube format is generally used for prototyping, low-volume runs, or manual handling.
Do AD8174ARZ and AD8174ARZ-RL share the same operating temperature range?
Yes. Both variants are specified over the same industrial temperature range as defined in the AD8174 datasheet, since they are the same device in the same package.
Can the AD8174ARZ-RL be substituted for the AD8174ARZ without requalification?
Because both are the same die and package with identical specifications, substitution is generally acceptable from a technical standpoint. However, any change in packaging format should still be validated against the assembly process and incoming inspection requirements.
What is the function of the AD8174 device family?
The AD8174 is a 4-channel buffered analog multiplexer with high-speed performance, intended for signal routing in video, imaging, and other analog signal-processing applications. Both the AD8174ARZ and AD8174ARZ-RL provide this same function.
