Product Description

The 74HC86A is a quad 2-input exclusive OR gate that provides the Boolean function Y = A ⊕ B in positive logic. A high output (1) results only when the inputs to the gate are at different levels. If both inputs are high or both are low, the output is low (0). This makes the 74HC86A ideal for parity generation and checking, as well as for applications where signal inversion is necessary.

Each gate in the 74HC86A operates independently, with inputs and outputs on opposite sides of the package to facilitate the layout of PCBs. The device is designed for use in applications requiring a high-speed CMOS logic gate and can operate across a wide range of voltages from 2V to 6V, making it suitable for battery-operated devices, portable electronics, and other low-power applications.

With its robust static and dynamic performance characteristics, the 74HC86A from ON Semiconductor is a versatile component for designers working on digital logic circuits where power efficiency and speed are of essence.
