7400 IC

The 7400 IC is a digital logic integrated circuit that contains four independent 2-input NAND gates in a single 14-pin package. It belongs to the 74xx TTL logic family and is one of the most commonly used ICs in basic digital electronics and logic circuit design.

A NAND gate gives a LOW output only when both inputs are HIGH; otherwise, the output remains HIGH. Because of this property, the 7400 IC is considered a universal logic IC, meaning it can be used to build any digital logic circuit such as AND, OR, NOT, and more.
