Product details
Overview
MC74LCX86MG from onsemi is a low-voltage CMOS quad 2-input XOR gate operating from 1.65 V to 5.5 V, featuring 5.0 V-tolerant inputs, 24 mA balanced output drive at 3.0 V, near-zero static supply current (10 µA), and TTL/LVCMOS compatibility. It performs logic-level exclusive-OR operations in mixed-voltage digital systems such as level-shifting interfaces between 3.3 V and 5 V domains.
For engineers reviewing the MC74LCX86MG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this device supports high-speed signal integrity in battery-powered portable electronics, industrial control I/O expansion, and FPGA/CPLD glue logic where voltage translation and low quiescent power are critical.
Technical Context
The MC74LCX86MG implements four independent XOR gates with rail-to-rail input tolerance up to 5.5 V while powered from as low as 1.65 V, enabling direct interfacing with legacy 5 V TTL outputs without external level shifters. Its VIH/VIL thresholds scale with VCC across multiple voltage bands (e.g., VIH = 0.65×VCC at 1.65–1.95 V; 0.70×VCC at 4.5–5.5 V), ensuring robust noise margins.
Propagation delay ranges from 4.5 ns (at 4.5–5.5 V) to 12.0 ns (at 1.65–1.95 V), with output skew ≤1.0 ns across channels at 3.0–3.6 V. The device maintains LVTTL-compatible output levels and exhibits <7 pF input capacitance and <8 pF output capacitance at 3.3 V, minimizing dynamic loading on driving stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V - Enables operation across 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | −0.5 V to +6.5 V - Allows safe connection to 5 V TTL outputs while powered from lower VCC (e.g., 3.3 V or 2.5 V). |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA at 3.0 V - Sufficient to drive standard TTL loads or multiple CMOS inputs without buffering. |
| Quiescent ICC | 10 µA max - Reduces standby power in always-on subsystems like real-time clock interfaces or sensor wake-up logic. |
| Propagation Delay | 4.5 ns max at 4.5–5.5 V - Supports >100 MHz toggle rates in critical timing paths of microcontroller peripherals. |
| Input Capacitance | 7 pF typical - Limits capacitive loading on high-impedance drivers such as microcontroller GPIO or analog switch outputs. |
| ESD Rating | HBM >2000 V - Provides baseline ESD robustness for board-level handling and end-user interface circuits. |

| 1, 4, 5, 10, 12, 13 | Data Input (A0–A3, B0–B3) | Accepts logic signals; 5 V tolerant regardless of VCC - enables mixed-supply interconnect without clamping diodes. |
| 3, 6, 11, 8 | Output (O0–O3) | Drives downstream logic; TTL-compatible VOH/VOL ensures interoperability with legacy 5 V inputs even at low VCC. |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference for all logic and power domains; must be low-inductance connection to minimize switching noise. |
| 14 | VCC | Primary supply rail; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required within 5 mm for stable high-speed operation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar XOR gate applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC86APWR | Lower max VCC (3.6 V); no 5 V input tolerance; 24 mA drive at 3.3 V identical. | Requires external level shifting when interfacing with 5 V sources; unsuitable for mixed-voltage backplanes. | Select only if system operates exclusively at ≤3.6 V and all upstream logic is LVCMOS. |
| 74AHC86PW | Wider VCC range (2–5.5 V); 5 V tolerant inputs; slower propagation (7.5 ns min at 5 V). | Higher propagation delay limits use in >70 MHz clock domains; better noise immunity due to AHC threshold design. | Prefer for cost-sensitive industrial controls where speed is secondary to EMI resilience. |
Compared with SN74LVC86APWR, MC74LCX86MG provides essential 5 V input tolerance for legacy integration; versus 74AHC86PW, it delivers faster 4.5 ns propagation at 5 V while maintaining identical package and pinout - enabling drop-in replacement in timing-critical designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for MC74LCX86MG?
The MC74LCX86MG supports DC input voltages from −0.5 V to +6.5 V, independent of VCC. This allows safe connection to 5 V TTL outputs even when powered from 1.65 V to 3.3 V supplies, eliminating external clamping diodes or level shifters in mixed-voltage interfaces.
Does MC74LCX86MG support operation at 1.8 V supply?
Yes, MC74LCX86MG is fully specified for operation at 1.65 V to 5.5 V, including 1.8 V. At 1.8 V, VIH is 1.17 V (0.65×VCC) and VIL is 0.63 V (0.35×VCC), with propagation delay ≤12.0 ns and output drive capability maintained per datasheet AC/DC specs.
What package type is used for MC74LCX86MG?
MC74LCX86MG uses the TSSOP-14 package (Case 948G), measuring 4.9 mm × 4.4 mm × 1.2 mm with 0.65 mm lead pitch. It is Pb-free, RoHS compliant, and rated MSL Level 1 - suitable for standard reflow soldering without moisture preconditioning.
Can MC74LCX86MG replace older 74LS86 in existing designs?
MC74LCX86MG can replace 74LS86 in many cases due to identical pinout (SOIC-14/TSSOP-14), same truth table, and TTL-compatible outputs. However, its 5 V-tolerant inputs and lower supply voltage range (1.65–5.5 V vs. 4.75–5.25 V) require verification of VCC stability and input source compatibility in legacy 5 V-only systems.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of MC74LCX86MG in TSSOP-14?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) for MC74LCX86MG in TSSOP-14 package is 150 °C/W under JEDEC JESD51-7 conditions (76 mm × 114 mm, 2-oz copper, still air). This value assumes standard PCB layout with thermal vias under the exposed pad - not applicable here since TSSOP-14 lacks an exposed pad.
