NXP Semiconductors 74LV86D,118

Overview

74LV86D,118 from Nexperia is a low-voltage Si-gate CMOS quad 2-input exclusive-OR gate operating from 1.0 V to 5.5 V supply, delivering 11 ns typical propagation delay at 3.3 V with 15 pF load, and specified for −40 °C to +125 °C industrial temperature range. It serves as a logic-level combinatorial gate in digital signal routing, parity generation, and arithmetic circuits within embedded control and interface subsystems.

For engineers reviewing the 74LV86D,118 datasheet, 74LV86D,118 pinout, 74LV86D,118 application, or 74LV86D,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include its wide 1.0–5.5 V operating range, TTL-level input compatibility at 2.7–3.6 V, −40 °C to +125 °C rating, SO14 package footprint, and functional equivalence to 74HC86/74HCT86 in low-voltage systems.

Technical Context

The 74LV86D,118 implements four independent XOR gates using silicon-gate CMOS technology optimized for low-voltage operation. Its input structure accepts TTL-compatible thresholds when VCC is between 2.7 V and 3.6 V, and it maintains rail-to-rail output swing across its full 1.0–5.5 V supply range.

Propagation delay varies with supply voltage: 11 ns typical at VCC = 3.3 V (CL = 15 pF), 13–19 ns max over −40 °C to +125 °C, and up to 24 ns at VCC = 2.0 V. Static characteristics include VIH = 2.0 V min and VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 3.3 V, ensuring robust noise margins in mixed-signal environments.

FAQ

What is the minimum supply voltage supported by the 74LV86D,118?

The 74LV86D,118 operates down to 1.0 V, as confirmed in Table 5 (Recommended Operating Conditions) of the datasheet. This enables direct use with 1.2 V core logic supplies and battery-powered systems where voltage may sag below 1.2 V during peak load. The 74LV86D,118 maintains defined logic thresholds and propagation delay performance even at this minimum VCC.

Is the 74LV86D,118 pin-compatible with 74HC86 or 74HCT86?

Yes, the 74LV86D,118 is explicitly stated in Section 1 (General Description) to be pin and function compatible with 74HC86 and 74HCT86. All 14 pins map identically: inputs (1A–4B), outputs (1Y–4Y), VCC, and GND occupy the same positions in SO14, allowing direct substitution in existing 74HC86/74HCT86 designs when operating within the 1.0–5.5 V range.

What is the maximum propagation delay of the 74LV86D,118 over its full temperature range?

The maximum propagation delay for the 74LV86D,118 is 24 ns under −40 °C to +125 °C conditions at VCC = 2.0 V and CL = 15 pF, per Table 7 (Dynamic Characteristics). At VCC = 3.0–3.6 V, the max delay is 19 ns over the same temperature range, making it suitable for sub-50 MHz synchronous logic applications.

Does the 74LV86D,118 support TTL-level inputs?

Yes, the 74LV86D,118 accepts TTL input levels when VCC is between 2.7 V and 3.6 V, as specified in Section 2 (Features) and Table 6 (Static Characteristics). At VCC = 3.3 V, VIH is guaranteed ≥2.0 V and VIL ≤0.8 V, matching standard TTL output thresholds (2.0 V/0.8 V), enabling direct connection to legacy 5 V TTL drivers.

What package type is used for the 74LV86D,118?

The 74LV86D,118 uses the SO14 package (plastic small outline package; 14 leads; body width 3.9 mm), identified as SOT108-1 in Nexperia's ordering information (Table 1). This JEDEC MS-012 compliant package features gull-wing leads, 1.27 mm pitch, and is optimized for surface-mount reflow assembly in high-volume manufacturing.
