Nexperia USA Inc. 74HCT86PW-Q100,118

Overview

74HCT86PW-Q100 from Nexperia is a quad 2-input EXCLUSIVE-OR gate in TSSOP14 package, qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for automotive use, operating from -40 °C to +125 °C with 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply, TTL-compatible inputs, and propagation delay of 17–48 ns (VCC = 4.5 V). It performs logic comparison and parity generation in vehicle body control modules.

For engineers reviewing the 74HCT86PW-Q100 datasheet, 74HCT86PW-Q100 pinout, 74HCT86PW-Q100 application, or 74HCT86PW-Q100 equivalent, this page delivers verified pin functions, automotive-grade thermal and ESD specs (HBM >2000 V), real-world timing behavior under CL = 50 pF, and direct alternatives with input threshold and output drive differences.

Technical Context

This device implements four independent XOR gates with TTL-level input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V) and rail-to-rail CMOS outputs capable of ±4.0 mA drive. Each gate exhibits identical truth table behavior: output HIGH only when inputs differ.

It features integrated input clamp diodes enabling safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC via current-limiting resistors, and meets JESD7A (2.0–6.0 V) and JEDEC JESD8C (2.7–3.6 V) standards. Latch-up immunity exceeds 100 mA per JESD78 Class II Level B.

Compared with SN74LVC2G86DCUR, the 74HCT86PW-Q100 provides guaranteed automotive reliability and TTL input compatibility but trades off wider voltage flexibility and higher drive strength. Against 74HC86PW-Q100, it enables direct connection to legacy 5 V TTL outputs but sacrifices some noise margin at high temperatures.

FAQ

What is the maximum clock frequency supported by 74HCT86PW-Q100 in a toggle configuration?

The device is a combinational logic gate-not a clocked element-so it has no inherent clock frequency limit. Its usable toggle rate depends on propagation delay and load: with tpd = 17 ns (typ) and CL = 50 pF, maximum reliable toggle frequency is ~10 MHz. For higher speeds, reduce capacitive loading and verify timing margins in the target PCB layout.

Can 74HCT86PW-Q100 interface directly with 3.3 V microcontroller GPIOs?

No-its TTL input thresholds require VIH ≥ 2.0 V, which 3.3 V GPIOs meet, but VIL ≤ 0.8 V is violated by typical 3.3 V logic LOW (≈0.4 V), risking marginal noise margin. Use a level-shifter or select 74LVC2G86 if 3.3 V interfacing is required; this part is optimized for 5 V TTL sources.

Does the 74HCT86PW-Q100 support hot-swap or live-insertion?

No-this device lacks hot-swap protection circuitry. Its absolute maximum VCC rating is +7 V, but applying power while inputs are biased risks latch-up or damage. Always power VCC before applying input signals, and ensure GND is established first during connector mating in modular systems.

How does the input clamp diode affect design of pull-up/pull-down networks?

The internal clamp diodes conduct when input voltage falls below GND −0.5 V or rises above VCC +0.5 V. To avoid excessive current, series resistors must limit IV < ±20 mA per diode. For 12 V tolerant interfacing, use ≥560 Ω resistors; for 5 V systems with overshoot, ≥100 Ω suffices per JESD78 guidelines.
