The Texas Instruments SN74LVC1G386DBVR is a single-gate 3-input XOR (Exclusive OR) logic gate from the 74LVC family, housed in a SOT-23-6 package. This part is designed for board-level glue logic where a compact, low-power XOR function is needed — parity generation, comparator output conditioning, or data-path gating in mixed-voltage systems.
The 32 mA output drive (both high and low) lets this gate directly drive multiple CMOS inputs or a low-power LED indicator without a buffer stage. The 4 ns propagation delay at 5 V with 50 pF load keeps the signal path fast enough for most control and data lines running below 50 MHz.
SOT-23-6 — will it survive the hot air?
The SOT-23-6 package is small (roughly 3 mm x 3 mm) with a 0.95 mm pin pitch. It reworks cleanly under hot air at 300°C with a fine nozzle — the low thermal mass means the part lifts before the board cooks. No exposed pad, so no via-stitch needed; just a standard land pattern.
The 74LVC family is a mature, widely second-sourced logic series, so alternate sourcing is straightforward if needed.
