SN74ACT86NSRG4

Overview

The SN74ACT86NSRG4 is a quadruple 2-input Exclusive-OR gate manufactured by Texas Instruments. It belongs to the ACT logic series and operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V. The device features a propagation delay of 15 ns, with 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. Packaged in a 14-SOIC (NS) surface-mount case, it supports standard digital logic applications requiring exclusive-OR functionality.

Feature Summary

• Provides four independent 2-input Exclusive-OR logic gates in a single package
• ACT series technology ensures high-speed switching performance
• Compatible with standard CMOS logic levels across a wide voltage range

Applications

• Digital data processing circuits
• Parity checkers and generators
• Arithmetic logic units for addition and subtraction operations

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix G4 indicates lead-free and RoHS compliance status against the manufacturer's latest documentation. Confirm the NS package code corresponds to the SOIC-14 physical dimensions required for your PCB footprint. Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified -40°C to +85°C temperature limits to maintain guaranteed electrical characteristics.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring fast Exclusive-OR operations compatible with 5V or 3.3V logic families. The ACT series offers improved speed over standard HC devices while maintaining CMOS power efficiency. Consider the 14-pin SOIC package for surface-mount assembly constraints and verify input/output drive capabilities meet load requirements.

Part Context

This part is a specific variant of the SN74ACT86 family, distinguished by the NS package style and G4 manufacturing revision. It serves as a digital logic building block for complex integrated circuits. The ACT series bridges the performance gap between older TTL technologies and modern high-speed CMOS solutions, providing robust noise immunity and fast transition times.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other SN74ACT86 variants with different package options such as SN74ACT86N or SN74ACT86PW. Verify pin compatibility and electrical specifications before substitution. Alternative logic families like SN74HC86 offer similar functionality but with different speed and drive characteristics.
