The 7404 is a TTL logic IC that integrates six independent inverter (NOT) gates in a single package.
It performs signal inversion for digital logic and control circuit applications.
The device operates from a single 5 V supply and is compatible with standard TTL logic levels.
It provides consistent switching characteristics suitable for low-speed digital systems.
Typical applications include signal inversion, logic buffering, waveform shaping, and timing circuits.
