The SN74HC86 is a four-input exclusive-OR gate chip produced by Texas Instruments (TI). The chip has a wide operating voltage range and can drive 10 LSTTL loads. It also has low power consumption, low input current and true logic.
The SN74HC86-Q1 is a quadruple 2‑input exclusive‑OR (XOR) gate that implements the Boolean function Y = A ⊕ B for each of its four independent gates. It is commonly used as a true/complement element, reproducing the true or inverted form of an input depending on the state of the other input.
The datasheet includes electrical characteristics such as a recommended supply voltage of 2 V to 6 V, low power consumption (20 µA max), low input current (1 µA max), and output drive capabilities of up to +4 mA at 5 V or 10 LSTTL loads. Mechanical data and packaging options (SOIC and TSSOP) are also provided, along with ordering information and compliance notes.
