7486 IC

The 7486 IC is a TTL logic IC that contains four independent 2-input Exclusive-OR (XOR) gates in a single 14-pin DIP package. It is widely used in digital electronics, logic circuits, and computer systems where XOR operations are required.

An XOR gate gives a HIGH (1) output only when the inputs are different.
