I recently pulled out a couple old electronics learning kits of mine that came with CMOS 4000 series logic chips. I thought it might be cool to (try to) build a simple 4-bit processor with the combined parts.
I don't have enough parts with just the CMOS chips, and I don't really feel like spending the extra time and money to get more, but I have a couple TTL 7404 inverter chips and a bunch of 74S37 nand chips.
If I ran everything at 5 volts, would the CMOS work with the TTL, or would it ker-splode? If it would work, is there anything that I might have to take into account such as a difference in the number of inputs I could drive with one output, etc?
Any help would be appreciated.
