Each of the four independent gates drives up to 7.8 mA at the output, and the device operates across a 2V to 6V supply range, covering 3.3V and 5V rails without a level translator. Temperature range spans -40°C to 125°C, suited for industrial motor drives, automotive body controllers, and outdoor telecom line cards that see thermal cycling. ## Schmitt-trigger hysteresis — what it buys you The Schmitt-trigger inputs define the 74HCS series versus the standard 74HC family. On a conventional HC gate, a slowly rising input — from a capacitor-coupled sensor, a long PCB trace, or a debounced switch — can sit in the linear region long enough to cause oscillation or double-clocking. The SN74HCS86DR's hysteresis (1V to 3V low-level threshold, 1.5V to 4.2V high-level threshold at 5V) provides a clean snap-action transition. In a 5V system, that means a rise time that would glitch an HC86 passes cleanly through the HCS gate. The propagation delay is 12ns at 6V with a 50pF load, comparable to the HC86, so speed is not sacrificed for the noise margin. There is no last-time-buy notice, and the part is not marked NRND. ROHS3 compliance is confirmed, and the standard ordering codes (Tape & Reel, Cut Tape) are available through normal distribution.","metaTitle":"SN74HCS86DR XOR Gate, Schmitt Trigger, 14-SOIC","metaDescription":"TI SN74HCS86DR quad 2-input XOR gate with Schmitt-trigger inputs. 2V to 6V supply, -40°C to 125°C, 12ns propagation delay.

The key difference is the Schmitt-trigger inputs on the HCS version, which provide hysteresis for cleaner switching on slow or noisy input signals. Propagation delay and output drive are similar, so in a board that already uses an HC86, swapping to the HCS86 gains noise margin without a layout change. Verify input thresholds against your system's signal levels, but for the vast majority of 3.3V or 5V logic applications, it is a drop-in upgrade."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/texas-instruments/SN74HCS86DR","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/texas-instruments/SN74HCS86DR when reusing this data.
