What are the key features of CD54ACT86F3A?

  • Quad 2-input XOR gate with 4 independent channels and 24 mA output drive current for direct TTL-compatible load driving without external buffers
  • ACT logic family with CMOS input thresholds and TTL-compatible outputs, bridging legacy TTL systems and modern CMOS logic in mixed-supply designs
  • 14-pin ceramic DIP package (CDIP-14) qualified for military and high-reliability applications requiring extended temperature operation

What is CD54ACT86F3A used for?

The CD54ACT86F3A is used in digital communication circuits for parity generation and checking, where each of its 4 XOR gates independently compares bit pairs to flag data integrity errors. Hardware encryption and CRC computation logic use XOR operations as fundamental building blocks, and the quad gate format reduces gate count per function. High-reliability avionics and military equipment favor the ceramic DIP package for its moisture resistance and stability across wide temperature ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many XOR gate channels does the CD54ACT86F3A contain, and what is the output drive current?

The CD54ACT86F3A contains 4 independent 2-input XOR gates, each capable of sinking up to 24 mA output low current. This drive level is sufficient to directly interface with standard TTL or HC-series logic inputs and small LED indicators without additional buffer stages.

Why is the ceramic DIP package of the CD54ACT86F3A preferred in high-reliability designs?

The 14-pin ceramic DIP (CDIP-14) package of the CD54ACT86F3A provides superior hermeticity and moisture resistance compared to plastic PDIP packages. This makes it the package of choice in military avionics, space-grade electronics, and industrial control systems where long-term reliability under humidity, thermal cycling between -55 °C and +125 °C, and vibration stress are critical requirements.

What are the key logic applications for the CD54ACT86F3A XOR gate?

The CD54ACT86F3A supports parity bit generation for 4-bit data words, hardware XOR-based encryption key mixing, and comparator circuits where bit-level equality detection is needed. The 50 pF specified load capacitance and ACT-family propagation delays below 10 ns allow operation in digital signal processing pipelines at clock rates up to 50 MHz.

How does the ACT logic family of the CD54ACT86F3A differ from standard HC logic?

The ACT family uses CMOS input thresholds with TTL-compatible output levels, allowing the CD54ACT86F3A to accept 5 V TTL-level signals from legacy logic and drive standard TTL loads with 24 mA sink capability. Standard HC gates have lower input noise margins from TTL sources and typically drive only 4 mA, making ACT preferable in mixed-voltage environments or bus-driving roles.
