Product details
Overview
MC74ACT86DT from onsemi is a quad 2-input XOR gate IC in TSSOP-14 package, operating at 4.5–5.5 V supply, delivering ±24 mA output drive, with propagation delays as low as 1.5 ns (typ) and TTL-compatible input thresholds. It serves in digital logic level translation, parity generation, and control signal conditioning within industrial PLC I/O modules.
For engineers reviewing the MC74ACT86DT datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include its ACT-series 5 V TTL-compatible inputs, guaranteed 24 mA drive strength, TSSOP-14 thermal and space advantages over PDIP/SOIC, and -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature operation.
Technical Context
The MC74ACT86DT implements four independent XOR logic functions using bipolar-CMOS (BICMOS) process technology, enabling TTL-level input compatibility while maintaining CMOS power efficiency. Its input thresholds are fixed at VIH = 2.0 V min and VIL = 0.8 V max across 4.5–5.5 V VCC, ensuring robust noise margin in mixed-signal environments.
Each gate features symmetrical tPLH/tPHL propagation delay characteristics (1.5–10.5 ns over temperature and voltage), with output stages rated for ±24 mA DC sink/source per pin and capable of transient dynamic currents up to ±75 mA under defined test conditions.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar XOR gate applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ACT86DR | Same logic function, SOIC-14 package; identical AC/DC specs; 55-unit rail vs. 96-unit rail packaging | No thermal or layout advantage in high-density boards; larger footprint than TSSOP-14 | Select when existing PCB uses SOIC-14 footprints or manual assembly is preferred |
| 74VHC86M | CMOS family; 2–5.5 V supply range; lower drive (±8 mA); higher VIH (3.5 V @ 4.5 V) | Not TTL-compatible; unsuitable for direct replacement where input thresholds must match legacy TTL | Choose only for new 3.3 V–5 V mixed-supply systems requiring ultra-low ICC (<2 µA) |
Compared with SN74ACT86DR and 74VHC86M, the MC74ACT86DT provides superior board-area efficiency via TSSOP-14, maintains strict TTL input compatibility essential for retrofitting, and delivers higher output current for driving heavier loads - making it optimal for space-constrained industrial control modules.

FAQ
What logic family does MC74ACT86DT belong to, and how does it differ from 74AC variants?
The MC74ACT86DT belongs to the 74ACT logic family, which features TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max) and CMOS outputs. Unlike the 74AC variant, the MC74ACT86DT is specified only for 4.5–5.5 V operation and guarantees 24 mA output drive - whereas 74AC versions operate down to 2.0 V and offer lower drive (±24 mA only at VCC ≥ 4.5 V). The MC74ACT86DT is optimized for strict 5 V TTL interoperability.
Can MC74ACT86DT be used with a 3.3 V supply?
No, the MC74ACT86DT is not rated for 3.3 V operation. Its recommended operating conditions specify VCC = 4.5–5.5 V only. At 3.3 V, input thresholds become undefined, VOH drops below TTL VIH minimums, and output drive degrades significantly. For 3.3 V systems, consider 74LVC86 or 74AUC86 instead - but those are not drop-in replacements for MC74ACT86DT.
What is the maximum capacitive load MC74ACT86DT can drive reliably?
The MC74ACT86DT is characterized for CL = 50 pF in AC specifications, with propagation delays measured under that condition. While it can drive higher capacitance, timing margins degrade linearly beyond 50 pF. For loads >50 pF (e.g., long traces or multiple inputs), add series termination or buffer stages. The 24 mA output drive supports ≤20 pF at 20 MHz without waveform distortion - confirmed by onsemi's application note AND8003/D.
Does MC74ACT86DT have built-in ESD protection, and what level is rated?
Yes, the MC74ACT86DT includes on-die ESD protection diodes on all inputs and outputs. It is rated to ±2000 V HBM (Human Body Model) per JEDEC JS-001, and ±200 V MM (Machine Model). This meets standard industrial I/O requirements but does not replace external TVS protection for connectors exposed to harsh environments. The MC74ACT86DT's absolute maximum input voltage is −0.5 V to VCC +0.5 V, reinforcing need for proper clamping in high-noise settings.
Is MC74ACT86DT pin-compatible with MC74AC86DT?
Yes, MC74ACT86DT and MC74AC86DT share identical pinout, package (TSSOP-14), and logic function. However, they differ electrically: MC74AC86DT operates from 2.0–6.0 V and has CMOS-input thresholds, while MC74ACT86DT is 4.5–5.5 V only with TTL-compatible inputs. Swapping them requires verifying VCC stability and input source compatibility - the MC74ACT86DT cannot replace MC74AC86DT in 3.3 V or battery-powered systems.
