SN54AC86 and SN74AC86 are quadruple 2-input exclusive-OR gates. The devices perform the Boolean function Y = A⊕B or Y = AB+AB in positive logic. A common application is as a true/complement element. If one of the inputs is low, the other input is reproduced in true form at the output. If one of the inputs is high, the signal on the other input is reproduced inverted at the output.
The SN54AC86 and SN74AC86 devices are quadruple 2‑input exclusive‑OR (XOR) gates that implement the Boolean function Y = A⊕B. They are commonly used as true/complement elements, reproducing the opposite input when the other input is high.
The datasheet provides recommended operating conditions, absolute maximum ratings, electrical characteristics such as supply voltage range (2 V‑6 V) and propagation delay (9 ns at 5 V), as well as extensive packaging options (PDIP, SOIC, SSOP, TSSOP, etc.) and mechanical dimensions. Ordering information and availability status are also included.
