MM74HC86N

Inverter Gates Overview

The MM74HC86N is a high-speed CMOS quad 2-input exclusive-OR gate manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.0V to 6.0V, ensuring compatibility with standard logic families. The device features low static power dissipation and high noise immunity typical of HC technology. Input pins include clamp diodes for transient protection, allowing operation with slow or clipped input waveforms. The package is a standard 14-pin DIP, suitable for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards.
