Is there any different multiple gates within one IC?

Hi,

As in the title of this post, is there any different multiple gates within one IC? I mean, one single IC will have the logic gates of AND, OR, NAND, XOR, NOR... or at least some of them.

Thanks

I'm not aware of any in the fashion you mean. You have things like the 74xx58 which is an AND-OR combination, but that's different than what I think you are looking for.

While it might seem natural to offer an IC with a mix of basic gates, the problem comes in when you try to decide which specific gates to include. There's no way to anticipate the right mix of gates since these types of IC's are usually used for random and/or glue logic, so the needs are very specific to the problem being solved. This is particularly true given that you can combine gates of one type to make other types of gates, so if you need an AND, a NOT, and a NAND you can get all three from a single quad-NAND package.

If you have needs beyond what a few SSI gates can deliver, then you can step up to something like a programmable logic device (PLD).

WBahn, what a great breifly detailed answer, so helpful.
Thanks

CD4007 consists of 2 complementary pairs plus an inverter that can be configured for a number of functions.

Okay thanks dl324, i have the 4007 on my "parts to rder" list, will try it.
There was a recent post from a member trying to create a D latch using 2 CD4007. An edge triggered D FF would take 2 or 3 packages.

I recently purchased 100 so I could experiment with them.

Would you provide me with the thread link that youre referring to, please!
