SN74HC86NS

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74HC86NS is a quadruple 2-input exclusive-OR gate manufactured by Texas Instruments in the HC logic series. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. The device features buffered inputs, balanced CMOS push-pull outputs, and standard CMOS input characteristics. It provides significant power reduction compared to LSTTL logic ICs and supports fanout up to 10 LSTTL loads.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Contains four independent 2-input XOR gates performing the Boolean function Y = A ⊕ B
• Features buffered inputs and balanced CMOS push-pull outputs for similar sourcing and sinking currents
• Standard CMOS inputs with high impedance characteristics

Inverter Gates Applications

• Detect phase differences in input signals
• Create a selectable inverter or buffer

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'NS' corresponds to the SOP (Small Outline Package) housing configuration before procurement. Confirm that the required thermal resistance and junction-to-ambient parameters align with the design constraints. Ensure the selected component meets the recommended operating conditions for the intended application environment.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide operating voltage range between 2 V and 6 V is required. Consider its balanced output drive capability for applications needing fast edges into light loads. Verify that the package dimensions fit the available board space and that the thermal characteristics are sufficient for the expected power dissipation levels.

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 is the maximum capacitive load recommended?

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