we do have a project in c++ progaming wherein we have to display an ic directory... i was assigned to research about cmos and ttl..the problem is i havent even learned about integrated circuits.
Does the directory have to have actual data in it, or is it acceptable to just make up parts and show off your programming skills?
I have tech manuals from the 1970's that describe 74xx TTL and 4000 series CMOS. Texas Instrument (ti.com) makes many TTL and CMOS ic's - you might be able to get what you need from their site. Making up parts would be more fun, though.
I think this will be a very helpful resource for you: http://www.kingswood-consulting.co.uk/giicm/
There exists on that site an extensive collection of 4000 series CMOS and 74xx series TTL ICs, with descriptions and ASCII representations of the actual devices.
