SN7486N DIP Quad 2-Input XOR Gate

Product Description: 7486 DIP Quad 2-Input XOR Gate

The 7486 is a Quad 2-Input XOR Gate in a DIP-14 package, designed for use in digital logic circuits that require exclusive OR (XOR) functionality. This IC contains four independent 2-input XOR gates, each capable of performing an XOR operation between two binary inputs. The output of an XOR gate is high (1) when the number of high inputs is odd, and low (0) when the number of high inputs is even, making it a key component in applications requiring logic decision-making, error detection, and data manipulation.

The 7486 is fully TTL compatible, ensuring reliable operation in a wide range of digital systems. It is commonly used in arithmetic circuits, comparators, parity generators, and control logic due to its ability to compare two signals and generate unique outputs based on the inputs. The DIP-14 package allows for easy integration into breadboards and PCBs, making it a versatile component for both prototyping and production.
