74HC86 Quad EXCLUSIVE-OR Gate, Dip-14 Package
74HC86 Quad EXCLUSIVE-OR Gate, DIP-14 Package
The 74HC86 is a quad 2-input EXCLUSIVE-OR (XOR) gate IC from the HC (High-Speed CMOS) logic family, housed in a standard 14-pin DIP package. It contains four independent XOR gates, each outputting a high signal when its two inputs differ. This IC is essential for digital logic circuits, arithmetic units, and data comparison, suitable for students, hobbyists, and engineers building digital systems.

What is the difference between an XOR gate and an OR gate?
An OR gate outputs HIGH if at least one input is HIGH. An XOR (EXCLUSIVE-OR) gate outputs HIGH only if the inputs are different (one HIGH, one LOW). If both inputs are the same (both HIGH or both LOW), the XOR output is LOW.
What payment options are available for the 74HC86 IC?
You can pay using UPI, credit/debit cards, or Cash on Delivery (COD). All payment methods are available across India with no extra charges.
