Additional Details

The TC4086BP is typically available in a 14-pin DIP package. The output of each XOR gate is high when the inputs are different and low when they are the same. This behavior makes it useful in circuits that require difference detection or binary addition. Proper decoupling capacitors should be used near the power supply pins to ensure stable operation and minimize noise. Its symmetrical nature is suitable for both combinational and sequential logic circuit designs.
