ON Semiconductor MC74HC86AN Quad 2-Input Exclusive OR Gate

The MC74HC86AN is a high-performance, quad 2-input Exclusive OR (XOR) gate integrated circuit, manufactured by ON Semiconductor. This IC is designed to operate over a broad range of supply voltages, from 2V to 6V, making it suitable for a variety of digital applications. The MC74HC86AN is part of the high-speed CMOS family and offers the robustness of CMOS technology along with the speed and drive capabilities that are comparable to Low Power Schottky TTL (LSTTL).

Each of the four gates in the MC74HC86AN is configured as a 2-input XOR function. Exclusive OR gates are particularly useful in digital systems where arithmetic operations, parity checking, and logical manipulations are required. The XOR function delivers an output that is high only when an odd number of inputs are high, providing a versatile tool for digital designers.

Key features of the MC74HC86AN include:

• Logic Type: Quad 2-Input XOR Gate
• Supply Voltage Range: 2V to 6V
• Operating Temperature: -55°C to 125°C
• Output Drive Capability: 10 LSTTL Loads
• Schmitt Trigger Action at All Inputs: Makes the circuit tolerant to slower input rise and fall times.
• Propagation Delay Time: Fast propagation delay times which vary with voltage.
• Package: The device is available in a 14-pin PDIP (Plastic Dual-In-Line Package), suitable for through-hole mounting, which eases the prototyping and production processes.
• Standard Pin Configuration: Ensures compatibility with other standard logic devices.

The MC74HC86AN is ideal for constructing digital systems that require logical equivalence testing, signal modulation, and digital signal comparison. Its high noise immunity and low power consumption make it a preferred choice for battery-operated devices, portable equipment, and other power-sensitive applications. ON Semiconductor's commitment to quality ensures that the MC74HC86AN meets stringent industry standards for performance and reliability.

Whether you are working on a simple prototype or a complex digital system, the MC74HC86AN provides the functionality and performance needed to achieve your design objectives. Its ease of use, combined with ON Semiconductor's support and resources, makes this XOR gate an essential component for your digital electronics projects.
