Product Overview: 74LV86N - Quad 2-Input Exclusive OR Gate

The 74LV86N is a high-performance, low-voltage CMOS device from NXP Semiconductors. It is part of the 74LV family, which is renowned for its low-voltage operation and high-speed interface technology. The 74LV86N is a quad 2-input exclusive OR (XOR) gate integrated circuit (IC) that is designed to operate from a 3.3V power supply, making it ideal for use in battery-operated devices, portable electronics, and systems that require low power consumption without sacrificing speed and performance.

This IC offers a robust solution for digital signal processing where exclusive OR logic functions are needed. With its fast switching capabilities, the 74LV86N is suitable for high-frequency signal processing and can be used in a variety of digital applications, including binary adders, parity generators and checkers, and in systems that require logic decision-making capabilities.

Each gate in the 74LV86N has two inputs and one output, and the gates are designed to have a high noise immunity and the ability to drive 15 LSTTL loads. It is characterized for operation from -40°C to +125°C, ensuring reliability and stable performance across a wide range of environmental conditions.

The 74LV86N comes in a standard 14-pin DIP (Dual In-line Package) or SO (Small Outline) package, which is easy to handle and integrate into a variety of circuit boards. The pin configuration and the logic diagram are provided in the datasheet, which assists designers in quickly incorporating the device into their designs. The IC is also compatible with TTL levels, allowing it to be used in mixed-voltage environments and interfaced with older logic families.
