description
These devices contain four independent 2-input
exclusive-OR gates. They perform the Boolean
functions Y = A ⊕ B or Y = AB + AB in positive
logic.
A common application is as a true/complement
element. If one of the inputs is low, the other input
is reproduced in true form at the output. If one of
the inputs is high, the signal on the other input is
reproduced inverted at the output.
The SN54ALS86 and SN54AS86A are
characterized for operation over the full military
temperature range of −55°C to 125°C. The
SN74ALS86 and SN74AS86A are characterized
for operation from 0°C to 70°C.
