Product details
Overview
MC74HC7266AFR1 from ON Semiconductor (formerly Motorola) is a quad 2-input exclusive-NOR (XNOR) gate IC in SOIC-14 package, operating from 2 V to 6 V, delivering 10 LSTTL load drive capability and featuring low input current (1 µA), high noise immunity, and JEDEC Std. No. 7A compliance. It serves as a logic-level signal combiner in biphase-level (Manchester) encoding circuits for data-clock embedding.
For engineers reviewing the MC74HC7266AFR1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include supply voltage range (2–6 V), propagation delay at 6 V (17 ns), output drive strength (±25 mA), input leakage (±1.0 µA at 125°C), and compatibility with CMOS/NMOS/TTL interfaces without level-shifting.
Technical Context
The MC74HC7266AFR1 implements four independent XNOR gates (Y = A ⊕ B) using high-performance silicon-gate CMOS technology. Each gate features standard CMOS push-pull outputs - not open-drain - enabling direct interfacing to TTL, NMOS, and CMOS loads without pull-up resistors.
Input thresholds are rail-relative (VIH ≥ 70% VCC, VIL ≤ 30% VCC), ensuring robust noise margin across the full 2–6 V supply range. The device supports operation from –55°C to +125°C and meets JEDEC Standard No. 7A for high-speed CMOS logic interoperability.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar XNOR gate applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HC7266N | Dual-in-line (PDIP-14) package; same electrical specs but larger footprint and higher thermal resistance. | Suitable for prototyping or through-hole assembly; not recommended for space-constrained or high-density PCBs. | Select when manual soldering or breadboard evaluation is required; avoid for production SOIC-based designs. |
| 74VHC7266M | Higher speed (tPD = 9.5 ns @ 5 V), lower ICC (< 2 µA), but narrower VCC range (2–5.5 V) and reduced 125°C drive capability. | Better for high-frequency clock domains (>50 MHz) but less tolerant of 6 V industrial rails or extended temperature stress. | Prefer for portable, battery-powered systems prioritizing speed and quiescent power; verify 6 V operation is unnecessary. |

FAQ
What logic function does the MC74HC7266AFR1 implement?
The MC74HC7266AFR1 implements four independent 2-input exclusive-NOR (XNOR) gates, where each output Y equals AB + A̅B̅. This function is explicitly confirmed in the logic diagram, truth table, and application information section of the Motorola DL129 datasheet. The MC74HC7266AFR1 is used in biphase-level (Manchester) encoding circuits where precise XNOR behavior between data and clock signals is required.
Is the MC74HC7266AFR1 pin-compatible with the 74LS266?
Yes, the MC74HC7266AFR1 is pin-compatible with the 74LS266, as stated in the Motorola datasheet: "The MC74HC7266A is identical in pinout to the LS266 and the HC266." This allows direct replacement in existing designs without PCB modification. However, the MC74HC7266AFR1 uses standard CMOS outputs instead of open-drain, so pull-up resistors used with LS266 are unnecessary - simplifying the schematic and reducing component count.
What is the maximum operating temperature for the MC74HC7266AFR1?
The MC74HC7266AFR1 is rated for operation from –55°C to +125°C across all package types, including the SOIC-14 (D suffix) variant. This specification is explicitly defined in the "RECOMMENDED OPERATING CONDITIONS" table of the Motorola DL129 datasheet. The extended temperature range makes the MC74HC7266AFR1 suitable for under-hood automotive applications and industrial control environments where thermal stress is significant.
Does the MC74HC7266AFR1 require external pull-up resistors on its outputs?
No, the MC74HC7266AFR1 does not require external pull-up resistors because it features standard CMOS push-pull outputs - unlike open-drain variants such as the LS266. The datasheet explicitly states: "The HC7266 has standard CMOS outputs instead of open–drain outputs." Each output can actively drive high or low with ±25 mA capability, enabling direct interface to TTL, NMOS, and CMOS loads without additional components.
What supply voltage range is supported by the MC74HC7266AFR1?
The MC74HC7266AFR1 supports a DC supply voltage range of 2.0 V to 6.0 V, as specified in both the "RECOMMENDED OPERATING CONDITIONS" and "MAXIMUM RATINGS" sections of the Motorola DL129 datasheet. Operation outside this range - especially above 6.0 V - risks permanent damage. The wide range enables flexible deployment in 3.3 V microcontroller systems, 5 V industrial logic, and mixed-voltage backplanes without level translation.
