• Create a selectable inverter or buffer

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current Package Option Addendum to confirm active production status and lead finish specifications. Ensure the selected component matches the required thermal resistance and pin configuration for the target PCB layout design.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide operating voltage range between 2 V and 6 V is required for digital logic applications. Consider the 14-pin PDIP package for through-hole mounting requirements. Verify that the load capacitance does not exceed recommended limits to maintain optimal switching performance.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This device belongs to the SNx4HC86 family of quadruple 2-input XOR gates. It is part of the broader HC (High-speed CMOS) logic series designed to provide fast switching speeds while maintaining low power consumption relative to older transistor-transistor logic technologies.

Inverter Gates FAQ

How should unused inputs be handled?

Unused inputs must be terminated to either VCC or ground to prevent undefined operational states caused by floating voltages.

What is the maximum capacitive load recommended?

The capacitive load at the output should be less than or equal to 70 pF to ensure optimal performance.
