ON Semiconductor MC74ACT86DG: Quad 2-Input Exclusive OR Gate

The MC74ACT86DG from ON Semiconductor is a high-performance, quad 2-input Exclusive OR (XOR) gate integrated circuit, designed to operate with a wide range of digital applications. This device is a member of the high-speed CMOS ACT family, which is known for its robust performance and compatibility with TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) levels. The MC74ACT86DG offers a perfect solution for computing parity, controlling data flow, and performing logical operations that require the exclusive OR function.

Each of the four gates in the MC74ACT86DG is composed of two inputs and one output, which deliver the XOR function, meaning the output is high only when an odd number of inputs are high. This feature is essential for various logic operations and error detection schemes where parity is crucial. The device is packaged in a compact SOIC-14 (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package, which ensures a small footprint on printed circuit boards and is suitable for automated surface mount assembly processes.

The MC74ACT86DG operates over a broad voltage range of 2V to 6V and offers excellent noise immunity, characterized by a full noise margin for both high and low logic levels. The low power consumption of the device makes it an excellent choice for battery-powered and energy-efficient applications. Furthermore, the device features balanced propagation delays and output transition times, which provide reliable and predictable timing characteristics essential for synchronous operations.

ON Semiconductor's commitment to quality is evident in the MC74ACT86DG, with its high manufacturing standards ensuring reliable performance in a wide range of environmental conditions. The device is also lead-free and RoHS compliant, reflecting the company's dedication to environmental sustainability.

With its combination of high-speed performance, low power consumption, and compact form factor, the MC74ACT86DG from ON Semiconductor is an ideal choice for designers who require a dependable XOR logic solution for their digital circuits.
