NXP Semiconductors 74LV86D,112

Overview

74LV86D,112 from Nexperia is a low-voltage Si-gate CMOS quad 2-input exclusive-OR gate, pin- and function-compatible with 74HC86 and 74HCT86. It operates across 1.0 V to 5.5 V supply, supports TTL input levels at 2.7–3.6 V, delivers propagation delay as low as 11 ns at 3.3 V/15 pF, and is rated for −40 °C to +125 °C ambient temperature - used in digital logic interfacing, parity generation, and arithmetic circuits.

For engineers reviewing the 74LV86D,112 datasheet, 74LV86D,112 pinout, 74LV86D,112 application, or 74LV86D,112 equivalent, key selection considerations include its wide V_CC range (1.0–5.5 V), guaranteed operation down to 1.0 V, ESD robustness (>2000 V HBM), SO14 package compatibility, and verified performance at automotive-grade temperature extremes.

Technical Context

The 74LV86D,112 implements four independent XOR gates using low-voltage CMOS technology, enabling interoperability between 1.2 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains. Its input thresholds are adaptive: VIH = 0.9 V at V_CC = 1.2 V, 2.0 V at V_CC = 2.7–3.6 V, and 0.7V_CC at 4.5–5.5 V; VIL scales proportionally, ensuring reliable noise margins across voltage rails.

Dynamic behavior is characterized by propagation delays of 13 ns (max) at 3.0–3.6 V with 15 pF load and 24 ns (max) at 2.7 V, while static output drive capability reaches −12 mA (VOH) and +12 mA (VOL) at V_CC = 4.5 V - sufficient for direct fan-out to multiple 74LVC inputs without buffering.

FAQ

What is the minimum supply voltage for guaranteed operation of the 74LV86D,112?

The 74LV86D,112 is guaranteed to function down to V_CC = 1.0 V when inputs are driven to GND or V_CC, per Section 8 of the datasheet. Static characteristics are fully specified from 1.2 V, but functional operation - including correct XOR truth table behavior - is validated at 1.0 V, making it suitable for battery-powered 1.2 V and 1.8 V systems.

Is the 74LV86D,112 pin-compatible with standard 74HC86 devices?

Yes, the 74LV86D,112 is explicitly pin- and function-compatible with 74HC86 and 74HCT86, as stated in the General Description section. All 14 pins - including input, output, V_CC, and GND assignments - match exactly, enabling direct replacement in existing HC/HCT-based PCB layouts without modification.

Does the 74LV86D,112 support 5 V TTL input levels across its full operating range?

The 74LV86D,112 accepts TTL input levels only when V_CC is between 2.7 V and 3.6 V, as specified in the Features section. At V_CC = 5.5 V, VIH is defined as 0.7V_CC (3.85 V), which exceeds standard TTL VIH (2.0 V), so direct 5 V TTL driving is not supported outside the 2.7–3.6 V window.

What is the maximum output current drive capability of the 74LV86D,112 at 3.3 V?

At V_CC = 3.0 V, the 74LV86D,112 guarantees VOH ≥ 2.2 V and VOL ≤ 0.50 V when sourcing/sinking 6 mA, per Table 6. This corresponds to a minimum output drive strength of ±6 mA at 3.3 V, sufficient for driving 10 LVC inputs or one LS-TTL load with margin.

Can the 74LV86D,112 be used in automotive under-hood applications?

Yes, the 74LV86D,112 is qualified for −40 °C to +125 °C operation and packaged in the SO14 (SOT108-1) variant, which meets automotive reliability requirements. Its 2000 V HBM ESD rating, low ground bounce, and stable timing across temperature make it suitable for engine control modules, HVAC controllers, and lighting drivers where ambient temperatures exceed 105 °C.
