The NLV74VHC1G86 is an advanced high speed CMOS 2-input Exclusive OR gate fabricated with silicon gate CMOS technology. It achieves high speed operation similar to equivalent Bipolar Schottky TTL while maintaining CMOS low power dissipation. The internal circuit is composed of three stages, including a buffer output which provides high noise immunity and stable output. The MC74VHC1G86 input structure provides protection when voltages up to 5.5V are applied, regardless of the supply voltage. This allows the MC74VHC1G86 to be used to interface 5V circuits to 3 V circuits.
