The SN74HC00 IC functions as four independent 2-input NAND gates. A NAND gate produces a low (0) output only when both inputs are high (1). In all other input combinations, the output is high (1). This IC is useful in digital logic circuits, where it performs logical operations like AND and OR when used with other gates.
Pin Function Specifications:
Pins 1, 6, 9, and 12 (A1, A2, A3, A4): These are the first inputs of each of the four NAND gates. They receive a signal that will be logically combined with the signal on the corresponding B pins. Pins 2, 7, 10, and 13 (B1, B2, B3, B4): These are the second inputs of each of the four NAND gates. They receive the second input signal for logical combination with the A pins. Pins 3, 8, 11, and 14 (Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4): These are the output pins. They provide the result of the logical NAND operation based on the input states at the corresponding A and B pins. Pin 4 (VCC): This is the power supply pin. It should be connected to a positive voltage (typically 5V) to power the IC. Pin 5 (GND): This is the ground pin. It should be connected to the circuit’s ground (0V).20 FAQ about SN74HC00DR
