Product OverviewThe 7486 Quad 2-Input XOR Gate IC (DIP) is a TTL logic device containing four independent exclusive-OR gates in a 14-pin DIP package. Each gate produces a HIGH output when its two inputs differ, making the IC a core building block for parity, arithmetic, encoding, and control logic. It is designed for typical 5V TTL systems, offering fast switching and compatibility with standard 74xx logic families.Key FeaturesFour 2-input XOR gates in one IC (quad XOR)Standard TTL (74xx) logic family; typical 5V operationHigh-speed switching and reliable logic thresholdsDIP-14 package suitable for breadboards and PCBsEasy interface with other TTL and compatible CMOS logic (with proper level translation)Typical SpecificationsLogic family: TTL (74xx)Supply voltage: 5V typicalNumber of gates: 4 independent 2-input XORsPackage: 14-pin Dual Inline Package (DIP-14)Operating temperature: follows standard 74xx commercial ranges (device-specific datasheet recommended)Pinout (DIP-14)Standard pin mapping for 7486 devices:Pin 1: A1Pin 2: B1Pin 3: Y1 (output of gate 1)Pin 4: A2Pin 5: B2Pin 6: Y2 (output of gate 2)Pin 7: GNDPin 8: Y3 (output of gate 3)Pin 9: B3Pin 10: A3Pin 11: Y4 (output of gate 4)Pin 12: B4Pin 13: A4Pin 14: VCC ( 5V)ApplicationsParity generation and parity checking circuitsBinary adders and arithmetic logic units (as sum-generation elements)Digital comparators, control logic, and gating functionsSignal encoding and decoding, error detection schemesEducational labs, training kits, and DIY digital electronics projectsWhy Choose the 7486 XOR Gate ICThe 7486 is a reliable, easy-to-use TTL XOR solution for both learning and production environments. Its DIP-14 package makes it simple to test on breadboards and integrate into prototype PCBs. Because it is part of the 74xx family, it works well alongside other standard TTL logic devices, giving designers a predictable and well-documented building block for digital design.Note: Images are for illustration purposes only.
