The SN74ALS86N is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the 74 series of TTL logic. It is a quad 2-input exclusive-OR (XOR) gate that offers reliable and efficient logical operations. This IC demonstrates excellent performance and is widely used in various digital electronics applications.
Key features of the SN74ALS86N include:
1. Quad 2-Input XOR Gates: The IC contains four XOR gates, each with two input ports. XOR gates produce a high output only when the number of high inputs is odd. This feature enables various arithmetic and logical operations.
2. Schottky TTL Technology: The SN74ALS86N utilizes Schottky transistor-transistor logic (TTL) technology. Schottky TTL offers high-speed switching with low power consumption, making it highly suitable for small-scale integration.
3. Wide Operating Voltage Range: It operates within a wide voltage range, from 4.5V to 5.5V. This versatility allows it to work with various power supply configurations and ensures compatibility with multiple digital systems.
4. Fast Propagation Delay: The SN74ALS86N has a low propagation delay, typically around 12 nanoseconds. This characteristic ensures quick response times, enabling high-speed data processing.
5. High Noise Immunity: The IC features built-in Schmitt-trigger inputs that provide excellent noise immunity against external interference and disturbances. It prevents false triggering and enhances system reliability
