SN74HC86D

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74HC86D is a quadruple 2-input exclusive-OR gate manufactured by Texas Instruments in a 14-pin SOIC package. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V and supports an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The device provides buffered inputs, balanced CMOS push-pull outputs, and significant power reduction compared to LSTTL logic ICs.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Contains four independent 2-input XOR gates performing the Boolean function Y = A ⊕ B
• Features buffered standard CMOS inputs with high impedance characteristics
• Provides balanced CMOS push-pull outputs capable of driving up to 10 LSTTL loads

Inverter Gates Applications

• Detecting phase differences between input signals
• Creating selectable inverters or buffers

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current Package Option Addendum to confirm production status, lead finish material, and moisture sensitivity level. Ensure the selected variant matches the required thermal resistance and operating temperature specifications for the target application environment.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact 14-pin surface-mount solution is required for implementing multiple XOR logic functions. Consider the wide operating voltage range and low static power consumption as primary advantages over legacy LSTTL technologies for general-purpose digital logic applications.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the SNx4HC86 family of quadruple 2-input XOR gates. The 'D' suffix specifically denotes the 14-pin Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) package body size of approximately 8.70 mm by 3.90 mm. Other available packages include PDIP, SOP, TSSOP, CDIP, and CFP variants within the same logical family.

Inverter Gates FAQ

How should unused inputs be handled?

Unused inputs must not be left floating; they should be terminated to either VCC or ground using pull-up or pull-down resistors to prevent undefined operational states.

What are the input transition rate requirements?

Input signals must have fast edge rates as defined in the Recommended Operating Conditions to avoid excessive current consumption and oscillations caused by slow transitions.
