SN74HC86N,
Contains four independent 2-input XOR gates. Each gate performs the Boolean function Y = A ⊕ B in positive logic.
An XOR gate may serve as a “programmable inverter” in which one input determines whether to invert the other input, or to simply pass it along with no change. Hence it functions as a inverter (a NOT gate) which may be activated or deactivated by a switch.
