SN74AC86PW

Overview

The SN74AC86PW is a quadruple 2-input exclusive-OR gate manufactured by Texas Instruments. It belongs to the AC logic series and features buffered inputs for high noise immunity. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V. Key electrical parameters include a propagation delay of 9 ns, low-level output current of 24 mA, and high-level output current of -24 mA. It functions reliably across an operating temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C. The component is housed in a TSSOP-14 surface-mount package.

Feature Summary

• Contains four independent 2-input exclusive-OR gates performing Boolean Y=A ⊕ B functions
• Buffered inputs provide high noise immunity and stable signal reception
• Wide operating voltage range supports flexibility in various power supply environments

Applications

• Digital logic circuits requiring XOR functionality
• Parity checkers and error detection systems
• Binary adder implementations

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'G4' if RoHS compliance or lead-free status is required, as this may affect ordering codes. Confirm package availability in TSSOP-14 format. Check manufacturer lifecycle status for obsolescence warnings before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed XOR operations are needed with a wide voltage tolerance. Compare against HC series for lower speed requirements or AHC series for improved performance at lower voltages. Ensure the TSSOP-14 footprint matches the PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This part is part of the SN74AC family of logic gates. It shares functional similarities with other XOR gates like the SN74HC86 but offers different speed and drive characteristics. The PW suffix indicates the TSSOP-14 package type used for surface-mount assembly.

Replacement Considerations

SN74AC86PWG4 is a verified equivalent variant with identical specifications.
