MM74HC86N

Inverter Gates Overview

The MM74HC86N is a Quad 2-Input Exclusive OR Gate manufactured by onsemi. It belongs to the 74HC series of high-speed CMOS logic devices. The component features four independent XOR gates within a single package. It operates with a supply voltage range of 2.0 V to 6.0 V. The device utilizes a 14-pin DIP package for through-hole mounting. It provides an output drive capability of 10 LSTTL loads. The inputs are compatible with standard CMOS outputs and can interface directly with CMOS, NMOS, and TTL logic families.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Provides four independent 2-input exclusive OR logic functions
• High-speed CMOS technology ensures low power consumption
• Outputs directly interface with CMOS, NMOS, and TTL loads
• Compatible with standard CMOS output levels

Inverter Gates Applications

• Parity generators and checkers
• Arithmetic logic units for addition and subtraction
• Error detection circuits
• Digital comparators

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'N' confirms the PDIP-14 through-hole package variant. Confirm RoHS compliance status as lead-free devices may have updated ordering codes. Check current availability as legacy HC series parts may have limited stock or end-of-life statuses depending on the manufacturing date code. Ensure pinout compatibility with existing PCB footprints before procurement.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when through-hole mounting is required for quad XOR functionality. It serves as a direct pin-compatible replacement for LS86 in many designs. Consider the 2V to 6V operating range for system voltage requirements. Verify noise immunity needs against standard CMOS characteristics. Evaluate propagation delay specifications if timing constraints exceed standard HC performance limits.

Inverter Gates Part Context

The MM74HC86N is part of the broader 74HC family of high-speed CMOS logic integrated circuits. This family is designed to be pin-compatible with the older 74LS TTL series while offering lower power consumption. The device implements the exclusive OR logical function across four separate channels. It is widely used in general-purpose digital logic applications requiring XOR operations.
