Working Principle: Each XOR gate is internally composed of multi-emitter transistors and a totem-pole output stage. When the two input levels are the same (both high or both low), the output is low; when the two inputs differ, the output is high. This logic characteristic makes it widely used in half-adder binary addition and parity check circuits.
Application Scenarios: Logic operations, parity generation/checking, binary adder circuits (half-adders and full-adders), data comparison, controlled inverters, digital signal processing, and error detection systems.
Usage Notes: Maintain supply voltage within 4.75V–5.25V. Avoid exceeding maximum rated input/output currents. Input clamp diodes protect against negative voltage but proper decoupling is recommended in high-noise environments.
