74266 Quad 2-Input Exclusive-NOR Gates

Product Overview

The 74266 Quad 2-Input Exclusive-NOR Gates is a digital logic IC designed for use in electronic circuits where logic functions are required. This IC contains four independent 2-input exclusive-NOR gates. Each gate performs the exclusive-NOR operation, which is a combination of AND, OR, and NOT operations. The output is high (logic 1) when the inputs are equal, and low (logic 0) when the inputs are different. These gates are commonly used in arithmetic operations, parity checks, and error detection systems.
