Description
The SN74LS136N is a low-power Schottky (LS) TTL integrated circuit. It features four independent 2-input Exclusive-OR (XOR) gates with open-collector outputs.
Technical Specifications
| Specification | Details |
|---|---|
| Logic Type | Quad 2-Input XOR |
| Output Type | Open-Collector |
| Supply Voltage (VCC) | 4.75V to 5.25V (Standard 5V TTL system) |
| Package Type | 14-pin PDIP (Plastic Dual In-line Package) |
| Operating Temperature Range | 0°C to 70°C |
| Propagation Delay | ~18 ns to 30 ns |
Common Applications
- Wired-AND Logic: Multiple open-collector XOR outputs can be tied together to a single pull-up resistor.
- Voltage Level Shifting: Driving output loads operating at different voltage rails (up to 5.5V).
- Parity Generators / Checkers: Used in error-detection hardware.
