7486 Quad 2-Input XOR Gate IC

The 7486 is a TTL logic IC containing four independent 2-input exclusive-OR (XOR) gates in a single 14-pin DIP package. Each gate outputs HIGH only when its two inputs are different, and LOW when they are the same. This makes the 7486 essential for arithmetic and comparison circuits, and it is the core of binary half adders and full adders. It is also widely used for parity generation and checking, and as a controllable inverter. It is a good fit for students, hobbyists and engineers building digital circuits and lab projects.
