74VHC86MTC

Inverter Gates Overview

The Fairchild Semiconductor 74VHC86MTC is a Quad 2-Input Exclusive-OR Gate fabricated using advanced high-speed CMOS technology. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2V to 5.5V and features symmetrical output drive currents of 8mA for both high and low states. The device provides power-down protection on all inputs, allowing them to accept voltages from 0V to 7V regardless of the supply voltage level. It offers high noise immunity with VNIH and VNIL minimums at 28% of VCC. Typical propagation delay is 4.8ns at 5V, with a maximum static current consumption of 2µA.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Provides exclusive-OR logic functionality across four independent gates
• Features power-down protection enabling safe input voltage handling above supply levels
• Ensures high noise immunity suitable for noisy environments
• Includes ESD protection circuits for enhanced component reliability

Inverter Gates Applications

• Interface circuits between 5V and 3V logic systems
• Data path selection and switching applications
• Parity generation and error detection circuits
• Digital arithmetic operations requiring XOR logic

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation as Fairchild Semiconductor or its successor entity ON Semiconductor, noting that part numbering conventions may have shifted following corporate integration. Confirm the specific suffix 'MTC' corresponds to the TSSOP-14 package variant. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives by checking the material declaration documents provided by the supplier. Validate that the component status remains active for production use.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad XOR gate is required in a surface-mount TSSOP-14 package. It is appropriate for designs needing wide supply voltage compatibility from 2V to 5.5V. The high noise immunity and power-down protection make it suitable for systems where inputs may be floating during power cycles. Consider the 8mA drive capability for moderate load requirements without external buffering.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This component belongs to the 74VHC series, representing advanced high-speed CMOS logic. It is functionally compatible with the standard 74LS86 TTL pinout but utilizes CMOS technology for lower power consumption. The device is part of a broader family of single-function gates designed for general-purpose digital logic applications requiring reliable XOR operations.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

The 74VHC86MTCX is a verified substitute part number from the same manufacturer line. Other equivalents include the MC74VHC86MTC from ON Semiconductor. Cross-reference datasheets to ensure package dimensions and electrical characteristics match the design requirements before substitution.
