The TC74HC7266AF is a quad 2-input Exclusive-NOR gate belonging to the TC74HC series of high-speed CMOS logic devices manufactured by Toshiba Semiconductor and Storage. The device performs the logical Exclusive-NOR function on the two inputs of each gate. It provides a high output when both inputs are the same (either both high or both low), and a low output when the inputs are different. The EL.F suffix indicates specific packaging and environmental compliance characteristics.
