Practical Electronics/IC/4001

The 4001 is a member of the 4000 Series CMOS range, and contains four independent NOR gates, each with two inputs. The pinout diagram, given on the right, is the standard two-input CMOS logic gate IC layout:

  • Pin 7 is the negative supply
  • Pin 14 is the positive supply
  • Pins 1&2, 5&6, 8&9, 12&13 are gate inputs
  • Pins 3, 4, 10, 11 are gate outputs

This chip is widely available, and usually comes in a DIL-14 or SOIC-14 package.

This chip is different in pinout to the TTL 7402, but can fulfill its function if the wiring is modified.
