Principle of Work:

Each inverter within the 74HC04 performs a NOT operation. When the input is low, the output becomes high. When the input is high, the output becomes low. This operation follows the basic NOT gate truth table.

  • A | Y
    • 0 | 1
    • 1 | 0

All six inverters operate independently and can be combined to build more complex digital logic circuits.
