7400 - Quad NAND Gate

The 7400 IC is a quad 2-input NAND gate chip from the 74xx TTL logic family. It contains four independent NAND gates, each with two inputs and one output, operating typically at 5V. It’s widely used in digital circuits for logic operations, and its standardized 14-pin DIP package makes it a fundamental building block in classic logic design.
