SN74LS136NG4

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74LS136NG4 is a quadruple 2-input exclusive-OR gate manufactured by Texas Instruments. It belongs to the LS logic series and features open-collector outputs. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V. Key electrical parameters include a propagation delay of 18 ns, a low-level output current of 8 mA, and a high-level output current of 100 uA. It supports through-hole installation in a PDIP-14 package and functions reliably between 0°C and +70°C.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Contains four independent 2-input exclusive-OR logic gates
• Utilizes open-collector output configuration for flexible interfacing
• Compatible with standard LS TTL logic families

Inverter Gates Applications

• Digital data comparison circuits
• Parity generation and checking systems

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'G4' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm lead-free compliance and material specifications. Ensure the selected package variant matches the required PCB footprint and mounting style for the target assembly process.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring exclusive-OR functionality with open-collector outputs. Consider the 18 ns propagation delay and 8 mA sink capability for timing and load requirements. Verify that the operating temperature range meets the environmental conditions of the intended application.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part is a member of the Texas Instruments SN74LS136 family, which provides quad exclusive-OR gates. The 'G4' suffix typically indicates lead-free manufacturing and RoHS compliance. It serves as a digital logic solution for implementing XOR operations in standard TTL-compatible designs.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering equivalent 74LS136 devices. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics such as output drive strength and propagation delay before substitution.
