The TC4076BP is a Quad Exclusive-OR (XOR) Gate integrated circuit manufactured by Toshiba Semiconductor and Storage. This CMOS logic gate performs the exclusive OR function on four independent sets of two inputs. The output of an XOR gate is high only when one, but not both, of its inputs are high.

Additional Details

The TC4076BP is part of the 4000 series of CMOS logic ICs, known for their reliability and versatility. Its propagation delay, which indicates the time it takes for the output to respond to a change in input, is a key parameter to consider in timing-critical applications. The input impedance is typically very high due to the CMOS technology. The 'BP' suffix in the part number usually indicates the package type, in this case, a plastic DIP package. For precise electrical characteristics (such as propagation delays, power dissipation, and input/output voltage levels) refer to the device's datasheet from Toshiba. The XOR function is expressed as Y = A XOR B, where Y is the output, and A and B are the inputs. The output Y is high (1) if A is high (1) and B is low (0), or if A is low (0) and B is high (1); otherwise, Y is low (0).
