74HC00N Quad 2-Input NAND Gate

74HC00N Quad NAND Gate IC

The 74HC00N NAND Gate IC contains four independent 2-input NAND gates. Each gate produces a LOW output only when both inputs are HIGH.

The IC uses high-speed CMOS technology. Therefore, it offers low power consumption and works across a wide 2V–6V supply range.
