MC74ACT86N

Inverter Gates Overview

The MC74ACT86N is a quad 2-input exclusive-OR gate manufactured by onsemi. It operates within a recommended DC supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V. The device features outputs capable of sourcing and sinking 24 mA of current, providing robust drive capability for external loads. It is designed for high-speed digital logic applications requiring TTL-compatible inputs.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Provides four independent 2-input exclusive-OR logic functions
• Features TTL-compatible input thresholds for direct interfacing with TTL systems
• Offers strong output drive capability with 24 mA source and sink currents

Inverter Gates Applications

• Digital logic circuits requiring XOR functionality
• Data comparison operations
• Parity generation and checking systems

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'N' indicates the PDIP-14 package variant when ordering. Confirm RoHS compliance status as lead-free availability may vary by production batch. Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified -40 °C to +85 °C temperature range for reliable performance.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad XOR gate with TTL-compatible inputs is required in a through-hole package. It serves as a suitable alternative to other 74ACT series XOR gates where DIP packaging is necessary for prototyping or legacy board designs.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the 74ACT series of high-speed CMOS logic devices from onsemi. The ACT series combines the speed of advanced technology with TTL-compatible inputs, making it ideal for upgrading existing TTL-based designs to CMOS performance levels without changing interface requirements.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include MC74AC86N and MC74HC86N, though voltage ranges differ. Cross-vendor equivalents such as SN74ACT86N are functionally identical.
