SN74LS136NE4

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74LS136NE4 is a quad 2-input exclusive-OR gate from the Texas Instruments SN74LS series. It features open-collector outputs and operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V. The device provides a low-level output current of 8 mA and a high-level output current of 100 uA. Propagation delay is specified at 18 ns. It supports through-hole mounting in a 14-pin PDIP package and functions reliably between 0°C and +70°C.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Contains four independent 2-input exclusive-OR logic gates
• Features open-collector outputs for flexible interfacing
• Compatible with standard TTL input levels

Inverter Gates Applications

• Digital logic circuits requiring XOR functionality
• Parity generation and checking systems
• Comparator applications in digital electronics

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix NE4 corresponds to the specific lead finish (NIPDAU) and RoHS compliance status required for your assembly process. Confirm the active production status and ensure the PDIP package dimensions align with your PCB footprint specifications before finalizing procurement.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when an LSTTL-compatible XOR gate with open-collector outputs is required. Ensure the design accommodates the 4.75 V to 5.25 V supply voltage constraints. Verify that the 18 ns propagation delay meets the timing requirements of the target application circuit.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74LS136 family, which includes variants such as SN74LS136N and SN74LS136DR. The NE4 suffix indicates a specific manufacturing configuration including lead finish and environmental compliance. Other versions include military-grade SN54LS136J and tape-and-reel options like SN74LS136NSR.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include SN74LS136N and SN74LS136DR. Cross-series replacements require verification of voltage ranges and drive capabilities.
