Product details
Overview
74HCT86DB,118 from Nexperia is a quad 2-input EXCLUSIVE-OR gate in SO14 (SOT108-1) package, designed for digital logic level translation and combinational logic synthesis in industrial control and interface circuits. It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, delivers propagation delay of 17–48 ns at VCC = 4.5 V, supports -40 °C to +125 °C ambient range, and features TTL-compatible inputs with CMOS output drive capability.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT86DB,118 datasheet, 74HCT86DB,118 pinout, 74HCT86DB,118 application, or 74HCT86DB,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage compatibility (TTL-level), propagation delay budget, thermal operating range, and SO14 footprint constraints in space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 74HCT86DB,118 implements four independent XOR gates using silicon-gate CMOS technology with TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V). Each gate exhibits symmetrical HIGH/LOW output drive (IOH = -4.0 mA, IOL = 5.2 mA) and integrates input clamp diodes enabling safe interfacing with overvoltage signals via current-limiting resistors.
Its dynamic behavior is characterized by CL = 50 pF load-dependent propagation delays (tpd = 17–48 ns), transition times (tt = 7–22 ns), and a power dissipation capacitance (CPD = 30 pF) used to calculate dynamic power consumption. The device complies with JESD7A and JEDEC standards and meets HBM ESD immunity >2000 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | Quad 2-input EXCLUSIVE-OR (XOR); outputs HIGH only when inputs differ |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with 5 V TTL and mixed-voltage systems |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 17 ns (typ), 48 ns (max) at VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 50 pF - defines maximum clock/data rate in synchronous logic |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-level (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) - enables direct connection to legacy 5 V TTL outputs without level shifters |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - supports extended industrial and under-hood automotive-adjacent applications |
| Output Drive | ±4.0 mA (IOH/IOL) - sufficient to drive multiple 74-series inputs or small capacitive loads (≤ 50 pF) |
| ESD Protection | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - reduces risk of handling damage during assembly and field operation |
Pinout & Package
74HCT86DB,118 uses the SO14 (SOT108-1) plastic small outline package: 14-pin, 3.9 mm body width, 1.27 mm lead pitch, gull-wing leads, and standard JEDEC MS-012 outline.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1A, 4A, 9A, 12A | Input A of Gate 1–4 | First data input per XOR gate; accepts TTL-level signals up to VCC |
| 2B, 5B, 10B, 13B | Input B of Gate 1–4 | Second data input per XOR gate; electrically identical to A inputs |
| 3Y, 6Y, 8Y, 11Y | Output Y of Gate 1–4 | CMOS-output XOR result; drives HIGH/LOW with rail-to-rail swing |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference (0 V) for all internal circuitry and I/O |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply (4.5–5.5 V); powers all four gates and internal bias networks |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide Supply Range | 4.5–5.5 V operation ensures robustness against 5 V rail droop and noise margin retention |
| Input Clamp Diodes | Enable safe interface to voltages exceeding VCC using external current-limiting resistors |
| Latch-up Immunity | Exceeds 100 mA per JESD78 Class II Level B - prevents destructive latch-up under transient overvoltage |
| Low Static Power | ICC ≤ 2.0 μA (typ), ≤ 40 μA (max) at VCC = 5.5 V - minimizes quiescent current in battery-backed systems |
| High Noise Immunity | Guaranteed VIH/VIL margins and CMOS input structure suppress false triggering in noisy environments |
Applications
| Parity Generator | Control Signal Inversion |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Generating even/odd parity bits across 4-bit data buses in UART transceivers and memory controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: XOR gate array computes bitwise XOR of parallel data lines to produce single parity output. Use Value: Enables real-time error detection with <48 ns latency per bit, supporting 20+ Mbps serial link rates. |
Use Scenario: Inverting enable/disable control signals in microcontroller peripheral gating (e.g., SPI chip select inversion). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as programmable signal polarity selector - one gate per control line. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete inverters or firmware-based toggling, reducing GPIO count and software overhead. |
| Data Path Switching | Phase Comparison |
Use Scenario: Selecting between two data sources (e.g., primary vs. backup sensor input) using XOR-controlled multiplexer logic. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: XOR output drives analog switch enable; inputs represent source select and override flags. Use Value: Provides glitch-free source handover with sub-50 ns decision latency and no external timing components. |
Use Scenario: Detecting phase misalignment between clock and feedback signals in PLL lock-detection circuits. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Compares rising edges of two periodic signals; output pulse width indicates phase difference. Use Value: Delivers deterministic lock status with <22 ns transition time, compatible with 20+ MHz reference clocks. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar XOR gate applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT86D,118 | Identical electrical specs and SO14 package; differs only in ordering suffix (no functional impact) | No application difference - same pinout, timing, and thermal rating | Select when exact Nexperia factory marking or traceability requirements mandate 'D' suffix |
| SN74LVC2G86DCUR | 2-gate, 3.3 V only (1.65–3.6 V), smaller X2SON-8 package, faster tpd (3.5 ns typ) | Not suitable for 5 V systems; requires level shifting if interfacing with 5 V logic | Prefer for low-voltage, high-speed, space-constrained designs where 5 V compatibility is not required |
Compared with 74HCT86DB,118, the 74HCT86D,118 offers identical performance and drop-in compatibility, while the SN74LVC2G86DCUR trades 5 V operation and quad density for lower voltage, higher speed, and smaller footprint - making it unsuitable for direct replacement in legacy 5 V systems.

FAQ
Is 74HCT86DB,118 pin-compatible with 74HC86 variants?
No - although both share the same SO14 pinout, 74HCT86DB,118 has TTL-compatible inputs (VIH ≥ 2.0 V), whereas 74HC86 requires CMOS-level inputs (VIH ≥ 3.15 V at VCC = 4.5 V). Swapping them may cause logic failures due to marginal input recognition in mixed-signal systems.
What is the maximum capacitive load this device can drive reliably?
The 74HCT86DB,118 is characterized up to 50 pF load capacitance per output, with guaranteed tpd and tt performance. Driving >50 pF increases propagation delay nonlinearly and may cause output ringing; for heavier loads, add series termination or buffer stages.
Does this part support 3.3 V operation?
No - the 74HCT86DB,118 is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply. At 3.3 V, input thresholds fall outside specification (VIH min = 2.0 V becomes non-compliant), and output drive degrades significantly; use 74LVC86 or 74AUP1G86 for 3.3 V systems.
Can unused inputs be left floating?
No - floating inputs cause increased ICC, unpredictable output states, and susceptibility to noise-induced switching. Unused XOR inputs must be tied to VCC or GND via ≤ 1 kΩ resistor to ensure defined logic levels and stable operation.
