XNOR gate in a 14-SOIC — what this part does and where it fits
The Texas Instruments CD74HC7266M96 is a quad 2-input XNOR gate from the 74HC series. It packs four independent XNOR gates into a 14-SOIC surface-mount package. The 74HC series operates across a 2 V to 6 V supply range, with a military-temperature rating of -55°C to 125°C.
Active lifecycle — no LTB risk for production runs
Texas Instruments lists the CD74HC7266M96 as an active product with RoHS3 compliance. There is no last-time-buy notice, no NRND status, and no official successor announced. For a BOM line that needs a quad XNOR gate in a 14-SOIC footprint, this part is safe to specify for new designs and ongoing production. The 74HC series has been in volume for decades, so supply is stable through both authorized and independent channels.
