The SN74HC86NG4 is an integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by Texas Instruments. It belongs to the 74HC family of logic gates and specifically, it is a quad 2-input XOR gate.
Key features of the SN74HC86NG4 include:
1. Quad 2-Input XOR Gate: This IC contains four XOR gates, each having two input pins and one output pin. The XOR (Exclusive OR) gate produces a high output only when the number of high inputs is odd.
2. High-Speed Operation: The SN74HC86NG4 is designed for high-speed logic operations. It has a propagation delay time of 12 ns, which makes it suitable for applications requiring fast switching times.
3. Wide Operating Voltage Range: It operates within a wide voltage range from 2 V to 6 V, allowing compatibility with various power supply configurations. This versatility makes it adaptable to a range of digital applications and different voltage levels.
4. Compatibility: The SN74HC86NG4 is CMOS compatible, meaning it can be used in both CMOS and TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) systems. This compatibility enhances its usability and makes it compatible with a wide range of digital devices.
5. Low Power Consumption: With a very low power dissipation of just 0.4mW, this IC is energy-efficient. This feature is important for conserving power in battery-operated devices or when power consumption is a concern
