SN7486N

Overview

The SN7486N is a quadruple 2-input exclusive-OR gate manufactured by Texas Instruments. It is housed in a 14-pin Plastic Dual In-Line Package (PDIP). The device operates within a commercial temperature range of 0 to 70 degrees Celsius and complies with RoHS standards using NIPDAU lead finish. This component belongs to the legacy SN74 series logic family.

Feature Summary

• Contains four independent 2-input exclusive-OR logic gates
• Provides true output signals for each gate function
• Compatible with standard digital logic circuit designs

Applications

• Binary addition circuits
• Parity checkers
• Logic comparators

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific SN7486N part number matches the required PDIP package and commercial temperature rating. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead finish specifications against current manufacturing data sheets before procurement to ensure compatibility with assembly processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a quadruple 2-input exclusive-OR function is required in a through-hole DIP format. Ensure the application environment remains within the specified 0 to 70 degrees Celsius operating range. Verify pinout compatibility with existing board layouts designed for standard 14-pin DIP packages.

Part Context

This device is part of the broader SN74xx logic family, specifically implementing exclusive-OR functionality. It serves as a fundamental building block for digital arithmetic and logical operations. The PDIP variant offers manual handling ease and prototyping flexibility compared to surface-mount alternatives.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers include SN74LS86AN and SN74LS86ANE4.
