74HC86 (Quad 2-Input EXCLUSIVE-OR Gate)

Overview

The 74HC86 is a high-speed CMOS quad 2-input exclusive-OR (XOR) gate integrated circuit. It contains four independent XOR gates, each with two inputs and one output. This IC is essential for digital logic applications where the output is HIGH when the inputs are different. It is part of the 74HC family, known for low power consumption and high noise immunity, making it ideal for battery-powered and portable devices.
