74LV86PW,118 Application Field and Working Principle

The 74LV86PW,118 Quad Exclusive-OR (XOR) logical IC is a low-voltage CMOS type Logic Gate belonging to the 74LVXX family. It has four exclusive-OR logical input and a single output. It is designed to work with low-voltage, low-power logic levels between 1.65 and 3.6 Volts. Its maximum operating power supply voltage is 3.6 Volts, and the maximum operating frequency is about 20 MHz. The IC is formed in an ultra-small, low-power 8-lead dual-inline package or 8-pin mini-DIP package.

Application Field:

The 74LV86PW,118 quad Logical XOR Gate has a variety of applications, such as:

• It is used for implementing logical addition.
• It is used for controlling address decoding.
• It can be used as a universal logic primitive, like AND and OR gates.
• It is used in electronic circuits, like Arithmetic Logic Units (ALUs) where the XOR gate allows bit comparisons.
• It is used in sum-of-products logic, whereby the two inputs of an exclusive-OR gate are used to form the product terms.
• It is used in digital arithmetic, as an arithmetic operation in addition, subtraction and multiplication.

Working Principle:

The 74LV86PW,118 quad Logical XOR Gate functions according to the logic: A XOR B = F, where the inputs A and B affect the output F. It is an Exclusive-OR (XOR) Logic Gate: If either A or B is true, but not both, then F is true. If both A and B are true, or both A and B are false, then F is false.

The output of the 74LV86PW,118 quad Logical XOR Gate can be described by the following truth table.

For example, if input A is true, then F is true; if input B is true, then F is true. If both A and B are true, then F is false.

The 74LV86PW,118 is a versatile logic gate, which is compatible with both TTL and CMOS logic circuits. Moreover, it is easy to use, since it requires only a single power supply to operate.

Conclusion:

The 74LV86PW,118 quad Logical XOR Gate is a versatile and powerful CMOS logic gate designed for low-voltage, low-power operations. Its application field is wide, such as address decoding, logic addition, bit comparisons and product terms. It can be used in nearly any electronic circuit, as it is compatible with both TTL and CMOS logic circuits, and only requires a single power supply to operate.
