Product details
Overview
N74F86N,602 from Philips Semiconductors is a quad 2-input exclusive-OR gate in a 14-pin plastic DIP package, operating at 5V ±10%, with 4.3ns typical propagation delay, 16.5mA typical supply current, and industrial temperature range support (–40°C to +85°C). It performs logic-level XOR operations for digital signal routing in TTL-compatible control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the N74F86N,602 datasheet, N74F86N,602 pinout, N74F86N,602 application, or N74F86N,602 equivalent, key selection criteria include propagation delay matching, fan-out capability (50/33 HIGH/LOW), input/output voltage thresholds (VIH = 2.0V, VIL = 0.8V), and compatibility with 5V TTL logic families in deterministic combinational logic designs.
Technical Context
The N74F86N,602 implements four independent XOR gates using bipolar F-type (fast TTL) technology, each accepting two inputs (Dna/Dnb) and producing one output (Qn) per gate. Its logic function follows the truth table where Qn = Dna ⊕ Dnb, with defined HIGH/LOW voltage thresholds and guaranteed switching behavior across commercial (0°C to +70°C) and industrial (–40°C to +85°C) temperature ranges.
It features totem-pole outputs capable of sourcing –1mA and sinking 20mA, supports 50pF load capacitance with 500Ω termination, and meets IEC/IEEE standard logic symbol conventions. Input loading is standardized at 1.0 FAST unit load (20µA HIGH / 0.6mA LOW), enabling predictable fan-out calculation in mixed-logic systems.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar XOR gate applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74F86N | Identical logic function, pinout, and DC/AC specs; manufactured by Texas Instruments under same 74F family spec | No functional deviation - direct second-source replacement with identical thermal and electrical behavior | Select when TI-sourced supply chain alignment or dual-sourcing strategy is required |
| 74ACT86PC | Advanced CMOS (ACT) variant: 3.3V/5V tolerant inputs, 7.5ns max tPLH, lower ICC (4µA typ), but higher VIH (3.5V min) | Requires level translation if interfacing exclusively with 5V TTL; unsuitable for legacy 5V-only systems without validation | Choose only when migrating toward lower-power, mixed-voltage designs with verified input compatibility |
Compared with SN74F86N and 74ACT86PC, the N74F86N,602 offers guaranteed industrial-temperature operation and proven 5V TTL interoperability without voltage translation, making it optimal for maintaining legacy system reliability and timing integrity.

FAQ
What logic function does the N74F86N,602 implement?
The N74F86N,602 implements four independent 2-input exclusive-OR (XOR) gates. Each gate outputs HIGH only when its two inputs differ (i.e., Qn = Dna ⊕ Dnb), following the standard truth table with defined VIH/VIL thresholds. This function is used for parity generation, data comparison, and conditional inversion in deterministic digital logic designs.
What is the maximum operating temperature range for N74F86N,602?
The N74F86N,602 is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C, as confirmed in the Philips Semiconductor Product Specification document dated February 9, 1990. This specification applies to the N74F86N variant (commercial part number with industrial-range screening), and is validated under recommended operating conditions with VCC = 4.5V to 5.5V.
Does N74F86N,602 support 5V TTL logic families?
Yes, the N74F86N,602 is fully compatible with 5V TTL logic families. Its input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0V, VIL ≤ 0.8V) and output drive (IOL = 20mA, IOH = –1mA) meet standard TTL specifications. It interfaces directly with 74LS, 74F, and 74ALS devices without level shifting, and its 1.0 FAST unit load definition ensures predictable fan-out behavior.
What package type is used for N74F86N,602?
The N74F86N,602 uses a 14-pin plastic dual in-line package (DIP) conforming to SOT27-1 mechanical dimensions: 19.1 mm body width, 2.54 mm lead pitch, and 0.3-inch row spacing. This through-hole package is documented in the Philips datasheet and supports manual soldering, socketing, and legacy PCB layouts.
What is the typical propagation delay of N74F86N,602?
The typical propagation delay of N74F86N,602 is 4.3ns (measured from input to output at VCC = 5V, Tamb = 25°C, CL = 50pF), as specified in the Philips Semiconductor Product Specification. This value applies to both tPLH and tPHL under non-inverting waveform conditions and represents the central point of the 3.0ns to 6.5ns operational range across temperature and voltage extremes.
