It operates from a 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply, making it a direct fit for 5 V TTL and CMOS systems where you need to compare two digital signals, generate parity, or implement controlled inverters in the data path. Four independent gates per package save board area compared to single-gate alternatives, and the industrial temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) covers most factory-floor, outdoor telecom, and automotive cabin environments without needing a wider-range variant. ## 8.8 ns propagation delay — timing closure for 5 V buses The maximum propagation delay of 8.8 ns at 5 V with a 50 pF load sets the timing budget for this gate in a signal chain. At 5 V operation, that delay is consistent with the 74AHCT family's speed grade — fast enough for most 5 V logic interfaces running below about 50 MHz, but not a high-speed contender against the 74LVC86APWR, which delivers 4.4 ns at 3.3 V. If your bus runs at 5 V and you need every nanosecond of margin, the 74AHCT86's 8.8 ns is the number to budget; if you are migrating to 3.3 V, the LVC variant is the better fit. ## Active production — no LTB risk for new designs The SN74AHCT86PW carries an Active lifecycle status with ROHS3 compliance. For a BOM line that needs a 5 V XOR gate in a 14-TSSOP footprint, this part can be specified into production without worrying about near-term obsolescence. ## Supply rails and input thresholds — 5 V TTL-compatible The supply range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V means this gate runs from a regulated 5 V rail. Input logic low is 0.8 V max, and input logic high is 2 V min — these thresholds are TTL-compatible, so the gate will reliably interpret a 3.3 V signal as a logic high as long as the supply is 5 V. Quiescent current maxes at 2 µA, negligible for power budgeting. Output drive is 8 mA source and sink, enough to drive a few CMOS inputs or a short PCB trace, but not a heavy load like a relay coil or long cable.","metaTitle":"SN74AHCT86PW 74AHCT Quad XOR Gate, 8.8ns @ 5V, 14-TSSOP","metaDescription":"Texas Instruments SN74AHCT86PW quad 2-input XOR gate in 14-TSSOP. 4.5V–5.5V supply, 8mA output drive, 8.8ns propagation delay at 5V.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"74AHCT","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["DC-DC Power Modules"],"specifications":{"Series":"74AHCT","Package":"Tube","Logic Type":"XOR (Exclusive OR)","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Package / Case":"14-TSSOP (0.173\\\", 4.40mm Width)","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Number of Inputs":"2","Voltage - Supply":"4.5V ~ 5.5V","Number of Circuits":"4","Operating Temperature":"-40°C ~ 85°C","Input Logic Level - Low":"0.8V","Supplier Device Package":"14-TSSOP","Input Logic Level - High":"2V","Current - Quiescent (Max)":"2 µA","Current - Output High, Low":"8mA, 8mA","Max Propagation Delay @ V, Max CL":"8.8ns @ 5V, 50pF"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$1.16","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$1.16000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$1.03500","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$0.98240","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$0.80700","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$0.75436","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$0.66664","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$0.52629","currency":"USD"},{"qty":2500,"price":"$0.49650","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/01a75dcae1976a9844d5b38d9cdc8b59.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the propagation delay of SN74AHCT86PW at 5V?","answer":"This is the worst-case figure to budget in timing analysis."},{"question":"Can SN74AHCT86PW replace a 74HCT86?","answer":"Yes, the SN74AHCT86PW is a direct functional and pin-compatible replacement for a standard 74HCT86 quad XOR gate in a 14-pin TSSOP package.
