SN74ALS86NG4

Overview

The SN74ALS86NG4 is a quad 2-input exclusive-OR gate from the Texas Instruments ALS logic family. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and supports an operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. The device features low-level output current capabilities up to 8 mA and high-level output current up to -0.4 mA. Propagation delays are specified with maximum values of 17 ns for tPLH and 12 ns for tPHL under standard load conditions.

Feature Summary

• Executes Boolean exclusive-OR functions using positive logic
• Provides four independent 2-input gates in a single package
• Supports true/complement signal reproduction applications

Applications

• True/complement element implementation
• Logic identity operations
• Even-parity checking circuits
• Odd-parity generation circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix 'G4' corresponds to the specific lead finish and RoHS compliance status required for your assembly process. Confirm the package type matches the design footprint, as this part number indicates a plastic DIP configuration. Ensure the manufacturer source is authorized to guarantee datasheet accuracy and traceability.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring moderate-speed logic operations within standard industrial temperature limits. The ALS series offers a balance between power consumption and switching speed suitable for general-purpose digital logic applications. Verify that the 5V supply environment aligns with the recommended operating conditions for optimal performance.

Part Context

This device belongs to the Texas Instruments SN74ALS86 family, which includes variants such as the SOIC (SN74ALS86D) and tape-and-reel (SN74ALS86DR) options. The SN74ALS86NG4 specifically denotes the plastic dual-in-line package variant intended for through-hole mounting. It shares functional equivalence with other members of the ALS logic family while differing in physical packaging and manufacturing lot specifications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include SN74ALS86N and SN74ALS86DR. Cross-family replacements like SN74LS86 or SN74AS86A require verification of voltage compatibility and pinout alignment.
