The 74HC02 is a quad 2-input NOR gate integrated circuit (IC) belonging to the 74HC logic family. Here’s a breakdown of its key features:
- Function: Performs the NOR logic operation on two input signals (A and B).
- Logic Family: 74HC – This indicates it uses high-speed CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) technology, offering good noise immunity and relatively low power consumption.
- Number of Gates: Quad – Contains four independent NOR gates within a single IC package.
- Input Count: 2 inputs per gate (A and B)
NOR Gate:
A NOR gate is a fundamental logic gate whose output is the opposite of an OR gate. It outputs a high logic level (typically 5V) only when all its inputs are low (typically 0V). In other words, the output is high only if both inputs are low.
Applications:
- Implementing complex logic functions by combining multiple NOR gates.
- Data inverting (changing 1s to 0s and vice versa).
- Building various digital circuits like memory elements and decoders.
