74386 IC 3-input EXCLUSIVE-OR gate

74386 3-input EXCLUSIVE-OR gate IC DIP-14 The 74386 is a digital logic integrated circuit from the 74-series family. It contains four independent Exclusive-OR (XOR) gates, each with two logic inputs and one output. Each gate produces a HIGH output when its two inputs have different logic levels and a LOW output when the inputs are the same. This IC is useful in digital systems that require parity checking, bit comparison, signal processing, and arithmetic logic functions. Its 14-pin DIP package makes it suitable for through-hole PCB assembly, educational electronics, and breadboard prototyping. Despite the supplied title, the standard 74386 is a quad 2-input XOR gate, not a 3-input XOR gate. Features: • Four independent XOR logic gates. • Two inputs per gate. • Outputs based on exclusive-OR logic. • Suitable for combinational logic circuits. • Useful for parity and binary comparison circuits. • Through-hole DIP package. • Compatible with digital logic designs using the appropriate supply and logic levels.
