IC Logic Gate 74LS02N NOR
The 74LS02 (also known as 7402) is a quad 2-input NOR gate IC that contains four individual NOR gates. It is built using CMOS technology and offers buffered outputs, providing noise immunity for driving LS-TTL loads.
Specifications:
- Operating Voltage: +4.75V to +5.25V (can extend to 7V). 
- Maximum Current Draw: 8mA from the output of the gates. 
- ESD Protection: 3.5kV protection for electrostatic discharge. 
- Rise/Fall Time: Typically 15ns. 
- Operating Temperature: 0°C to 70°C. 
- Storage Temperature: -65°C to 150°C. 
Reliability:
- Cost-Effective: The IC contains four internal NOR gates, which reduces the cost compared to building individual NOR gates. 
- Multiple Gate Functionality: The IC can be used to design other gates. For example, a single NOT, AND, and OR gate can be derived using the NOR gates. 
- High-Speed Operation: Schottky transistors are used to minimize switching delays. 
- TTL Compatibility: The IC gives output in TTL states, allowing easy integration with other systems.
