datasheet 74ls00

The 74LS00 is a quad 2-input NAND gate integrated circuit (IC) designed for general purpose logic applications. This IC is part of the 74LS family of low power Schottky TTL (transistor-transistor logic) devices, known for their high speed, low power consumption, and wide operating voltage range. The 74LS00 features four independent NAND gates, each with two inputs and a single output. With a maximum propagation delay of 10 nanoseconds, the 74LS00 is capable of high speed operation, making it suitable for use in a wide range of digital systems and applications. Its low power consumption and wide supply voltage range make it versatile and well-suited for battery-powered and portable electronics. The 74LS00 is housed in a 14-pin dual in-line package (DIP), making it easy to incorporate into electronic designs and prototype circuits. It is widely available and widely used, making it a popular choice for hobbyists, students, and professionals alike seeking a reliable and versatile logic gate IC.
