The 74LVT86DB is a high-performance, low-voltage Quad 2-input Exclusive-OR Gate integrated circuit, proudly manufactured by NXP Semiconductors. This IC is designed to operate at 3.3V, making it suitable for interfacing with low-voltage systems while also being 5V tolerant at input for interfacing with traditional 5V logic. It is part of the LVT family, which is known for its low-voltage operation and high-speed performance.

Key Features

• Power Supply: Operates at a voltage range of 2.7V to 3.6V, which is ideal for low-power and battery-operated systems.
• High Speed: Propagation delay (t_pd) is typically only 3.7ns at 3.3V, enabling high-speed operation for demanding applications.
• Drive Capability: Capable of driving 50Ω transmission lines, making it suitable for driving long cables and high capacitive loads.
• 5V Tolerant Inputs: Inputs can handle 5V signals without any damage, providing compatibility with TTL levels and making the device versatile for mixed-voltage environments.
• Output Capability: Provides bus hold data inputs which eliminate the need for external pull-up or pull-down resistors, simplifying design and reducing component count.
• Low Power Dissipation: ICC is only 0.2µA max for a unit load of 1, contributing to lower power consumption and longer battery life in portable applications.
• Package: Available in a DB (SSOP) package, which is designed for space-saving on PCBs and is suitable for automated surface-mount assembly processes.
