This is a technical manual about SN5486, SN54LS86A, SN54S86 SN7486, SN74LS86A, SN74S86 QUADRUPLE 2-INPUT EXCLUSIVE-OR GATES
These devices contain four independent 2‑input exclusive‑OR gates that perform the Boolean function Y = A ⊕ B. They are commonly used as true/complement elements, reproducing the opposite input when one input is high and the other when it is low.
The datasheet lists absolute‑maximum ratings, recommended operating conditions, and electrical characteristics such as supply voltage ranges (4.5‑5.5 V for SN5486, 4.75‑5.25 V for SN7486), propagation delay (10 ns), power dissipation (30.5 mW), output current limits, and operating temperature ranges (‑55 °C to 125 °C for SN5486, 0 °C to 70 °C for SN7486).
| Propagation delay (LS86A) | 10 ns |
|---|---|
| High‑level output current | ‑800 µA |
| Low‑level output current | 16 µA |
Each device contains four independent 2‑input exclusive‑OR gates that implement the Boolean function Y = A ⊕ B.
The typical propagation delay is 10 ns.
