3-5 Using IC Logic Gates

 AND and OR gates are available as ICs. The IC pin layout, logic gate type, and
technical specifications are all contained in the logic data manual supplied by the
manufacturer of the IC. For example, referring to a TTL or a CMOS logic data
manual, we can see that there are several AND and OR gate ICs. To list just a few
examples:

1. The 7408 (74LS08, 74HC08) is a quad two-input AND gate.

2. The 7411 (74LS11, 74HC11) is a triple three-input AND gate.
3. The 7421 (74LS21, 74HC21) is a dual four-input AND gate.
4. The 7432 (74LS32, 74HC32) is a quad two-input OR gate.

in Figures 3–60 and 3–61.

• (High-speed CMOS 74HC04, 74HC00, and 74HC02 have the same pin configuration as the TTL ICs.)

 Fortunately, the different manufacturers of digital logic ICs have standardized a numbering
scheme so that basic part numbers are the same regardless of the manufacturer.

A standard numbering scheme for IC logic gates

S74F08N
• 7408: the basic number used by all manufacturers for a quad AND gate

• F: the FAST TTL subfamily

• S : the manufacturer’s code for Signetics.

DM: Fairchild
SN: Texas Instruments

• N : packaging type: plastic dual-in-line (DIP)

D: is used for the surface-mounted SO plastic package. (other suffixes are available)

 A table of the most common IC gates in the TTL and CMOS families is
given in Table 3–9. You will need to refer to a TTL or CMOS data book
for the pin layout and specifications.
