7486 Quad 2-Input XOR Gate IC (DIP-14)

About 7486 IC

The 7486 is a reliable quad 2-input XOR (Exclusive-OR) gate IC designed for digital logic applications. It contains four independent XOR gates within a single compact DIP-14 package, making it ideal for space-efficient circuit designs.

Each gate performs the Exclusive-OR function, producing a HIGH output only when the two inputs are different. This makes the IC especially useful in applications like parity checking, digital comparison, signal processing, and logic control circuits.

Built with input clamp diodes, the IC allows safe interfacing with voltages higher than VCC using current-limiting resistors, enhancing its flexibility in mixed-voltage environments. Designed to meet JEDEC standards, the 74HC86 ensures stable performance and compatibility across a wide range of electronic projects.

Whether you’re building educational circuits or advanced digital systems, this IC offers dependable performance and easy integration.
