4011 (Quad, 2 input NAND Gates)

Overview

The 4011 is a CMOS Quad 2-Input NAND gate, a fundamental building block in digital electronics. This integrated circuit (IC) contains four independent NAND gates, each with two inputs and one output. As a member of the 4000-series CMOS family, the 4011 is known for its low power consumption, wide operating voltage range, and high noise immunity, making it an ideal choice for battery-powered devices, educational projects, and professional designs.

Key Features

• Four Independent Gates: Contains four separate 2-input NAND gates in a single 14-pin DIP package.
• CMOS Technology: Offers extremely low power dissipation, typically 0.5 µW per gate.
• Wide Supply Voltage Range: Operates from 3V to 15V, providing design flexibility.
• High Noise Immunity: CMOS design provides excellent noise margins.
• Standard Pinout: Compatible with other 4000-series ICs for easy prototyping.
• High Input Impedance: Minimal loading on previous stages.
• Fast Propagation Delay: Typically 60 ns at 10V, suitable for many logic applications.
• TTL Compatible: Can drive TTL circuits when powered at 5V.
