9 Application and Implementation

Note

Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification,

and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for

determining suitability of components for their purposes, as well as validating and testing their design

implementation to confirm system functionality.

9.1 Application Information

In this application, a 2-input XOR gate is used as a phase difference detector as shown in Figure 9-1. The

remaining three gates can be used for other applications in the system, or the inputs can be grounded and the

channels left unused.

The device is used to identify phase difference between a reference clock and another input clock. Whenever

the clock states are different, the XOR output will pulse HIGH until the clocks return to the same state. The

output is fed into a low-pass filter to obtain a DC representation of the phase difference.

9.2.1 Design Requirements

9.2.1.1 Power Considerations

Ensure the desired supply voltage is within the range specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions. The

supply voltage sets the device's electrical characteristics as described in the Electrical Characteristics - 74.

The supply must be capable of sourcing current equal to the total current to be sourced by all outputs of the

SN74HC86 plus the maximum supply current, ICC, listed in the Electrical Characteristics - 74. The logic device

can only source or sink as much current as it is provided at the supply and ground pins, respectively. Be sure not

to exceed the maximum total current through GND or VCC listed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings.

Total power consumption can be calculated using the information provided in CMOS Power Consumption and

Cpd Calculation.

Thermal increase can be calculated using the information provided in Thermal Characteristics of Standard Linear

and Logic (SLL) Packages and Devices.

CAUTION

The maximum junction temperature, TJ(max) listed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings, is an

additional limitation to prevent damage to the device. Do not violate any values listed in the Absolute

Maximum Ratings. These limits are provided to prevent damage to the device.

9.2.1.2 Input Considerations

Unused inputs must be terminated to either VCC or ground. These can be directly terminated if the input is

completely unused, or they can be connected with a pull-up or pull-down resistor if the input is to be used

sometimes, but not always. A pull-up resistor is used for a default state of HIGH, and a pull-down resistor is

used for a default state of LOW. The resistor size is limited by drive current of the controller, leakage current into

the SN74HC86, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics - 74, and the desired input transition rate. A 10-kΩ

resistor value is often used due to these factors.
