IC Name: SN74HC4075 (or similar name depending on the manufacturer). The "HC" prefix typically indicates a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor) logic family, known for lower power consumption compared to older families like LS (Low-power Schottky).
Functionality: The 74HC4075 is a triple 3-input OR gate. This means it contains three independent logic gates within a single package, and each gate performs the OR operation.
OR Gate: In simple terms, an OR gate outputs a high signal (logical 1) if any of its inputs are high. If all inputs are low, the output remains low.
Triple: There are three identical OR gates within the IC, allowing you to perform OR operations on three separate sets of inputs simultaneously.
Applications: The 74HC4075 is a versatile IC used in various digital circuits where OR logic is needed.
