SN74HC86N datasheet by Texas Instruments

SN74HC86N Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum frequency of operation for the SN74HC86N?
  The maximum frequency of operation for the SN74HC86N is typically around 100 MHz, but this can vary depending on the specific application and operating conditions.
• How do I ensure that the SN74HC86N is properly powered and decoupled?
  To ensure proper operation, the SN74HC86N should be powered with a stable voltage supply between 2V and 6V, and decoupling capacitors (e.g. 0.1uF) should be placed as close as possible to the device to filter out noise and reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI).
• What is the maximum current that the SN74HC86N can sink or source?
  The SN74HC86N can sink or source up to 25mA of current per output, but this should be limited to 15mA per output for reliable operation.
• How do I handle thermal considerations for the SN74HC86N?
  The SN74HC86N has a maximum junction temperature of 150°C. To prevent overheating, ensure good airflow around the device, and consider using a heat sink if the device will be operating at high frequencies or with high currents.
• Can I use the SN74HC86N in a 5V system?
  Yes, the SN74HC86N can be used in a 5V system, but ensure that the input and output voltage levels are within the recommended operating range of 2V to 6V.
