XOR Gates: The 7486 IC contains four XOR gates, each with two inputs (A and B) and one output (Y). The XOR gate produces a high output (often represented as '1') when the number of '1's in its inputs is odd. If the inputs have an even number of '1's, the output is low ('0').
Dual-In-Line Package (DIP): The 7486 IC is commonly available in a 14-pin Dual-In-Line Package (DIP), making it suitable for use on breadboards and in various electronic circuits.
Power Supply Voltage: The IC typically operates with a power supply voltage in the range of 4.75V to 5.25V for standard TTL logic families. Variants with different voltage ratings are also available.
Low Power Consumption: The 7486 IC has relatively low power consumption, making it suitable for battery-powered and low-power applications.
Applications: XOR gates have a wide range of applications in digital logic, including data encryption, parity generation and checking, adder and subtractor circuits, signal conditioning, and more.
Truth Table: The XOR gate's truth table is as follows:
This table summarizes the XOR gate's behavior for all possible input combinations.
