Nexperia USA Inc. 74AHC86PW,112

Overview

74AHC86PW,112 from Nexperia is a quad 2-input CMOS EXCLUSIVE-OR gate in TSSOP14 package, rated for -40 °C to +125 °C operation, with 2.0–5.5 V supply range, overvoltage-tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V, and balanced propagation delays as low as 3.4 ns (VCC = 5.0 V, CL = 15 pF). It serves as a logic-level translator in mixed-voltage digital interfaces such as microcontroller I/O expansion and bus arbitration circuits.

For engineers reviewing the 74AHC86PW,112 datasheet, 74AHC86PW,112 pinout, 74AHC86PW,112 application, or 74AHC86PW,112 equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage compatibility (CMOS-level), thermal performance in compact PCB layouts, propagation delay consistency across all four gates, and Schmitt-trigger input hysteresis for noise immunity in industrial control signal conditioning.

Technical Context

This device implements four independent XOR logic functions with fully buffered outputs and Schmitt-trigger inputs on each channel, enabling robust signal integrity in noisy environments. Its overvoltage-tolerant inputs allow direct interfacing between 3.3 V and 5.0 V domains without external level-shifting components.

The AHC family uses advanced CMOS technology to achieve rail-to-rail output swing, low static current (≤40 μA at VCC = 5.5 V), and dynamic power dissipation governed by CPD = 10.0 pF - critical for battery-powered edge-node logic and low-power state-machine implementations.

FAQ

Can 74AHC86PW,112 operate reliably at 2.0 V supply?

Yes - the device is fully specified down to 2.0 V supply, with guaranteed VIH ≥ 1.5 V and VOL ≤ 0.55 V at IO = 4.0 mA. Propagation delay increases to 14.0 ns (CL = 15 pF), but functional correctness and noise margin remain intact for low-power sensor hub applications.

Is the exposed pad on the TSSOP14 package electrically connected?

No - the thermal pad in SOT402-1 is non-functional and must remain floating or be tied to GND only if thermally beneficial; no electrical connection exists, and soldering it does not affect logic operation or ESD performance.

How does Schmitt-trigger input behavior impact signal integrity?

Each input exhibits ≥0.3 V hysteresis, rejecting noise spikes < 0.3 V and preventing multiple transitions on slow-rising edges - critical for reliable operation on long PCB traces or unshielded cables in factory automation I/O modules.

What is the maximum capacitive load this device can drive?

The datasheet specifies timing up to CL = 50 pF. Driving >50 pF increases propagation delay nonlinearly and may cause output rise/fall time degradation; for >100 pF loads, buffer stages or lower-impedance drivers like 74AHC244 are recommended.
