The CD74ACT86M from Texas Instruments is a high-performance, CMOS logic family quadruple 2-input exclusive-OR gate. This integrated circuit is designed to provide the most flexible and robust logic solution for a wide range of applications. The device is characterized for operation from -55°C to 125°C, making it suitable for demanding environments and critical applications.

The CD74ACT86M comes in a compact SOIC-14 package, which is ideal for space-constrained applications. Each of the four gates performs the Boolean function Y = A ⊕ B or Y = A̅B + AB̅ in positive logic, where Y is the output, and A and B are the inputs. These gates are designed to operate at speeds comparable to low power Schottky TTL while retaining the low power consumption of standard CMOS integrated circuits.

Key features of the CD74ACT86M include a typical tpd of 9ns, ±24mA of output drive at 5V, and a wide operating voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V. This makes the device compatible with TTL levels while providing the benefits of high-speed CMOS technology. Additionally, the inputs are capable of accepting TTL logic levels, which allows for easy interfacing with older technology.

One of the advantages of the CD74ACT86M is its balanced propagation delay and transition times, which ensures reliable and predictable performance across the entire range of operating conditions. Furthermore, the device features low input current of 1µA max and includes noise margin specified for both VCC = 5V and VCC = 10V.

With its robust design and compatibility with a variety of logic levels, the CD74ACT86M is an excellent choice for implementing logic functions in industrial controls, data processing, telecommunications, and other electronic systems that require high speed and low power consumption.
