Product details
Overview
74ALVC86MTC from Fairchild Semiconductor is a low-voltage quad 2-input XOR gate IC operating from 1.65V to 3.6V VCC, featuring 3.6V-tolerant inputs/outputs, 3.5 ns max propagation delay at 3.0–3.6V, and power-off high-impedance I/O. It serves as a logic-level combinatorial gate in voltage-translating digital interfaces and bus arbitration circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 74ALVC86MTC datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include VCC range compatibility (1.65–3.6V), 3.6V I/O tolerance for mixed-supply systems, propagation delay vs. supply voltage dependency, input leakage (<5 µA), and TSSOP-14 package footprint constraints.
Technical Context
The 74ALVC86MTC implements four independent 2-input exclusive-OR logic functions using advanced CMOS process technology. Its input structure supports 3.6V tolerance regardless of VCC, enabling safe interfacing with higher-voltage logic families while powered from 1.65–3.6V supplies.
It features power-off high-impedance I/O states and patented Quiet Series™ EMI/noise reduction circuitry. Latchup immunity complies with JEDEC JED78, and ESD robustness meets 2000V HBM and 250V MM per specification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65V to 3.6V - Enables operation across multiple low-voltage logic domains including 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V systems. |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | Up to 3.6V - Allows direct connection to 3.3V or 5V-tolerant peripherals without level shifters. |
| tPD (max) | 3.5 ns @ 3.0–3.6V - Supports >200 MHz toggle rates in critical timing paths under nominal supply. |
| IIH/IIL Leakage | <5 µA @ 3.6V - Minimizes static current draw in battery-powered or standby-sensitive designs. |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA @ 3.0V - Sufficient to drive 50 Ω transmission lines or fan-out to ≥10 LVTTL loads. |
| Power-off Hi-Z | Yes - Prevents back-driving or contention when VCC is unpowered, critical for hot-swap or partial-power-down systems. |
Pinout & Package
74ALVC86MTC is housed in a Pb-free 14-lead Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP), JEDEC MO-153 compliant, 4.4 mm wide, with standard 0.65 mm lead pitch.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar XOR gate applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC86APW | TI part in TSSOP-14; identical VCC range (1.65–3.6V) and 3.6V I/O tolerance; tPD = 3.7 ns @ 3.3V. | No Quiet Series™ EMI reduction; slightly higher typical propagation delay. | Preferred where TI ecosystem alignment or alternate qualification is required; same PCB footprint. |
| 74LVC86PW,118 | Nexperia part in TSSOP-14; matches VCC range and I/O tolerance; tPD = 3.8 ns @ 3.3V; AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified. | Automotive-qualified variant; lacks Quiet Series™ but offers extended temperature support (−40°C to +125°C). | Recommended for automotive body electronics requiring AEC-Q100 compliance and extended thermal range. |
Compared with SN74LVC86APW and 74LVC86PW,118, the 74ALVC86MTC delivers superior EMI suppression via Quiet Series™ and tighter propagation delay spec (3.5 ns max), making it optimal for noise-sensitive industrial and portable applications where layout space precludes added filtering.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 74ALVC86MTC?
The 74ALVC86MTC is rated for free-air operating temperatures from −40°C to +85°C. This range is validated per the Recommended Operating Conditions table in the Fairchild DS500718 datasheet. Operation outside this range may result in parametric degradation or functional failure. The 74ALVC86MTC does not support extended industrial or automotive temperature grades unless explicitly requalified by the manufacturer.
Does the 74ALVC86MTC support true 5V-tolerant inputs?
No, the 74ALVC86MTC supports up to 3.6V-tolerant inputs and outputs, not full 5V tolerance. Its absolute maximum input voltage is 4.6V, but reliable logic-level compatibility is specified only to 3.6V. For 5V system interfacing, external level-shifting circuitry or a 5V-tolerant alternative such as the 74LVC86 must be used. The 74ALVC86MTC datasheet explicitly defines VIH/VIL thresholds relative to VCC, not fixed 5V references.
Can the 74ALVC86MTC be used in a 1.8V-only system with no other supply voltages present?
Yes, the 74ALVC86MTC operates fully within specification at VCC = 1.8V ±0.15V, with guaranteed tPD ≤ 7.8 ns and VOL ≤ 0.45V at 4 mA sink. Input thresholds scale with VCC (VIH = 0.65×VCC min), ensuring correct logic interpretation. All DC and AC parameters in the datasheet include 1.65–1.95V VCC rows, confirming native 1.8V system compatibility without derating.
Is the 74ALVC86MTC pin-compatible with the older 74AC86 or 74HC86?
No, the 74ALVC86MTC is not pin-compatible with 74AC86 or 74HC86. While all are 14-pin XOR gates, the 74ALVC86MTC uses TSSOP-14 (MTC14), whereas 74AC86/74HC86 typically use SOIC-14 (M14A) or PDIP-14. Even with identical pin counts, the physical footprint, lead pitch (0.65 mm vs. 1.27 mm), and thermal pad presence differ. Electrical compatibility also differs: 74ALVC86MTC supports 1.65–3.6V VCC and 3.6V I/O tolerance; 74HC86 is limited to 2–6V VCC with no overvoltage tolerance.
What does "_NL" signify in the ordering code 74ALVC86MTCX_NL?
The "_NL" suffix in 74ALVC86MTCX_NL indicates a Pb-free (lead-free) package per JEDEC J-STD-020B, with device supplied only in tape-and-reel format. It denotes the same MTC14 TSSOP-14 package as 74ALVC86MTC but with RoHS-compliant terminations and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) handling requirements. The core silicon, functionality, and electrical specs of the 74ALVC86MTC remain unchanged between NL and non-NL variants.
