Product details
Overview
MC74LVX86MG from onsemi is a quad 2-input XOR gate IC designed for level-shifting logic interfacing between 3.0 V and 5.0 V systems. It features 5 V-tolerant inputs (up to 6.5 V), 3.3 V supply operation, 5.8 ns typical propagation delay, ±25 mA output drive, and Pb-free SOIC-14 packaging - deployed in digital signal routing, parity generation, and mixed-voltage bus arbitration.
For engineers reviewing the MC74LVX86MG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SOIC-14 terminal mapping, functional compatibility with standard logic families, noise performance data (VOLP ≤ 0.5 V), and real-world use cases in voltage-translating control logic.
Technical Context
The MC74LVX86MG implements four independent CMOS XOR gates with input clamping diodes enabling 5 V tolerance while operating from a 2.0–3.6 V VCC supply. Its balanced tPLH/tPHL delays ensure deterministic timing across all four channels under 15 pF load conditions.
Input protection includes power-down safe inputs and latchup immunity exceeding 300 mA. ESD robustness meets >2000 V HBM, and dynamic noise margins are specified with VOLP ≤ 0.5 V and VIHD ≥ 2.0 V at 3.3 V operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.0 V to 3.6 V - Enables direct integration into 3.3 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | −0.5 V to +6.5 V - Allows safe connection to 5 V buses without external clamping. |
| tPD (Typ) | 5.8 ns at VCC = 3.3 V, CL = 15 pF - Supports >100 MHz toggle rates in high-speed control paths. |
| IOUT (Max) | ±25 mA per output - Drives standard TTL loads or multiple 74LVC inputs without buffering. |
| VOL (Max) | 0.1 V at IOL = 4 mA, VCC = 3.0 V - Ensures solid low-state margin in noise-sensitive digital interfaces. |
| ICC (Max) | 2.0 µA at TA = 25°C - Minimizes standby current in battery-backed or low-power monitoring circuits. |
| VOLP (Max) | 0.5 V - Limits ground bounce during simultaneous switching of multiple outputs. |
Pinout & Package
MC74LVX86MG is supplied in a Pb-free SOIC-14 NB (Case 751A) package measuring 8.75 mm × 4.00 mm × 1.75 mm, with standard 1.27 mm pitch and gull-wing leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A0 | First XOR gate input A - accepts 0–6.5 V signals; internally clamped. |
| 2 | B0 | First XOR gate input B - paired with A0 to generate O0 = A0 ⊕ B0. |
| 3 | O0 | Output of first XOR gate - rail-to-rail CMOS swing referenced to VCC/GND. |
| 4 | A1 | Second XOR gate input A - electrically identical to A0; shares same VCC domain. |
| 5 | B1 | Second XOR gate input B - forms second independent XOR function with A1. |
| 6 | O1 | Output of second XOR gate - isolated from O0; no internal coupling. |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference - all input thresholds and output levels referenced to this pin. |
| 8 | O2 | Output of third XOR gate - supports concurrent 3-channel XOR operations. |
| 9 | B3 | Fourth XOR gate input B - last of eight total inputs across four gates. |
| 10 | A3 | Fourth XOR gate input A - completes full quad-gate complement. |
| 11 | O2 | Output of third XOR gate - note duplicate O2 labeling in datasheet Figure 1; actual pin 11 is O2 per PIN ASSIGNMENT diagram. |
| 12 | B2 | Third XOR gate input B - paired with A2 (pin 13) to produce O2 (pin 11). |
| 13 | A2 | Third XOR gate input A - located adjacent to B2 for minimized trace skew. |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply - powers all four gates; must be decoupled locally with 0.1 µF ceramic. |

|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Generating odd/even parity bits across 8-bit data buses in microcontroller-based memory subsystems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Four MC74LVX86MG gates compute XOR across bit pairs (D0⊕D1, D2⊕D3, etc.), cascaded to final parity output. Use Value: Achieves sub-20 ns total parity delay at 3.3 V while accepting 5 V address strobes - eliminating discrete level shifters. |
Use Scenario: Resolving bus contention between 3.3 V FPGA peripherals and 5 V legacy I/O expanders. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: XOR gates compare master/slave enable signals and generate conflict-detection flags with 5 V-tolerant inputs. Use Value: Prevents bus lock-up by detecting simultaneous drive conditions with <5.8 ns response - faster than software polling. |
| Secure Key XOR Masking | Digital Signal Polarity Inversion |
|
Use Scenario: Real-time bitwise XOR of 4-bit encryption keys with hardware-generated pseudo-random sequences. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Each gate performs one key-bit XOR operation; all four operate concurrently with matched propagation delays. Use Value: Delivers deterministic, glitch-free masking with <1.5 ns inter-output skew - critical for side-channel attack resistance. |
Use Scenario: Inverting polarity of quadrature encoder signals before feeding to 3.3 V motor controller inputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Two gates invert A/B channels; remaining two condition direction bits using XOR-based state decoding. Use Value: Maintains <1 ns channel-to-channel skew across inverted and non-inverted paths - preserving encoder timing integrity. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar XOR gate applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC86APWR | Identical 3.3 V operation and 5 V-tolerant inputs; slightly higher ICC (10 µA max) and slower tPD (6.7 ns typ). | Valid for cost-sensitive consumer designs where 0.9 ns speed penalty is acceptable. | Select when sourcing flexibility across TI/onsemi ecosystems is prioritized over minimal propagation delay. |
| 74AUP1G86GW,125 | Single-gate variant in ultra-small XSON-6; VCC range 0.8–3.6 V; tPD = 7.0 ns at 3.3 V; lower drive (±4 mA). | Suitable only for low-fanout, space-constrained nodes - not quad-function replacement. | Choose only for point-of-load XOR where board area is critical and quad integration is unnecessary. |
Compared with SN74LVC86APWR and 74AUP1G86GW,125, the MC74LVX86MG delivers the fastest propagation (5.8 ns), highest output drive (±25 mA), and true quad-gate integration in SOIC-14 - making it optimal for timing-critical, mixed-voltage control logic requiring four synchronized XOR functions.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for MC74LVX86MG?
The MC74LVX86MG supports DC input voltages from −0.5 V to +6.5 V, enabling safe interfacing with 5 V logic systems while operating from a 3.3 V supply. This 5 V-tolerance is achieved via internal input clamping diodes and does not require external components. The absolute maximum rating applies regardless of VCC level, and operation beyond ±0.5 V outside this range risks permanent damage to the MC74LVX86MG.
Can MC74LVX86MG be used with a 2.5 V supply?
Yes, MC74LVX86MG is fully specified for VCC = 2.0 V to 3.6 V, including 2.5 V operation. At 2.5 V, VOH remains ≥2.0 V (min) and VOL ≤0.36 V (max) under 4 mA load, ensuring reliable interfacing with other 2.5 V logic families. Propagation delay increases to 9.3 ns (typ) at 2.5 V/50 pF, but all DC and AC parameters remain guaranteed per the datasheet - confirming robust functionality of the MC74LVX86MG across its full supply range.
Is MC74LVX86MG pin-compatible with older 74HC86 devices?
No, MC74LVX86MG is not pin-compatible with 74HC86. While both are quad 2-input XOR gates in 14-pin packages, the MC74LVX86MG uses SOIC-14 NB (Case 751A) with GND on pin 7 and VCC on pin 14, matching 74LVC86 - not the 74HC86 pinout (which places VCC on pin 14 but has different input/output assignments). Substituting MC74LVX86MG for 74HC86 without PCB revision will cause functional failure. Always verify pin mapping before replacement - the MC74LVX86MG is designed as a direct upgrade to 74LVC86, not 74HC86.
What is the thermal performance of MC74LVX86MG in SOIC-14 package?
The MC74LVX86MG in SOIC-14 (Case 751A) has a thermal resistance θJA of 105 °C/W (typical) and a maximum power dissipation of 1077 mW at TA = 25°C. Under worst-case conditions (VCC = 3.6 V, all outputs switching at 10 MHz into 50 pF), total dynamic power is ~12 mW - resulting in negligible junction temperature rise (<2 °C above ambient). This confirms the MC74LVX86MG operates reliably without heatsinking in standard industrial ambient conditions up to +85°C.
Does MC74LVX86MG support partial power-down operation?
Yes, MC74LVX86MG includes power-down protection on all inputs, allowing them to remain driven (even at 5 V) while VCC = 0 V without back-driving or damaging the device. Input leakage remains below ±1.0 µA across −40°C to +85°C, and no current flows into VCC or GND pins during this state. This feature enables hot-plug capability and safe operation in systems where logic rails sequence independently - a key design advantage confirmed for the MC74LVX86MG in onsemi's recommended operating conditions table.
