NOT Gate INVERTER 7404 IC

The 7404 IC is a classic digital logic device featuring six independent NOT gates (inverters) within a single integrated chip. Each gate performs a simple logical inversion, outputting the opposite state of its input—HIGH becomes LOW, and LOW becomes HIGH. This makes the 7404 an essential building block in countless digital logic designs.

Operating on standard 5V TTL logic, this chip is known for fast switching, reliable output, and broad compatibility with other 74-series devices. It’s extensively used in timing circuits, waveform shaping, digital buffering, and microcontroller interface logic.

Whether you’re an engineer designing automation systems, a student building logic circuits, or a hobbyist developing embedded systems, the 7404 IC offers robust and flexible inversion logic in a compact and cost-effective package.

⚠️ Precautions

• Always tie unused inputs to ground or Vcc to avoid floating states.

• Use decoupling capacitors (0.1µF) near Vcc pin for stability.

• Do not exceed absolute max voltage (typically 7V).

• Avoid excessive output loading to maintain switching performance.
