74AHC86PW,118

Overview

The Nexperia 74AHC86PW,118 is a quad 2-input EXCLUSIVE-OR gate in the 74AHC series. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.0 V to 5.5 V and features overvoltage tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V. The device utilizes Schmitt-trigger actions on all inputs for high noise immunity. It is housed in a TSSOP14 (SOT402-1) package with 14 leads and a body width of 4.4 mm. The component supports an ambient temperature range from -40 °C to +125 °C.

Feature Summary

• Overvoltage tolerant inputs allow use as translators in mixed voltage environments
• All inputs feature Schmitt-trigger actions for enhanced noise immunity
• Balanced propagation delays ensure consistent signal timing

Applications

• Translators in mixed voltage environments
• Digital logic circuits requiring exclusive-OR functionality
• Signal processing applications utilizing CMOS low power dissipation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required package type and temperature rating. Confirm that the input voltage levels align with the CMOS specifications for the 74AHC variant rather than TTL levels found in AHCT versions. Ensure design compliance with absolute maximum ratings to prevent permanent damage.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad XOR gate is required with wide supply voltage flexibility between 2.0 V and 5.5 V. The TSSOP14 package is suitable for surface mount applications requiring a thin profile. Consider the overvoltage tolerance if interfacing with higher voltage domains without additional level shifting components.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 74AHC family of high-speed CMOS logic devices manufactured by Nexperia. It shares functional similarities with other 74-series logic gates but offers improved speed and lower power consumption compared to older HC or HCT families. The PW suffix specifically denotes the plastic thin shrink small outline package.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include the 74AHCT86PW,118 for TTL-compatible input levels in 5 V systems. Other packages such as SO14 (74AHC86D,118) offer equivalent electrical performance with different mechanical dimensions.
