4068 Combinatorial Logic 8-Input NAND/AND Gate 14
The 4068 is a member of the 4000 Series CMOS range, and contains a single 8-input NAND gate, and, on some models the inverted output (i.e. an AND gate). The pinout diagram, given on the right, is the standard eight-input CMOS logic gate IC layout:
Pin 7 is the ground supply (GND)
Pin 14 is the positive supply (VDD)
Pins 2-5 and 9-12 are gate inputs for the gate
Pin 1 and 13 are gate outputs. Pin 1 is not always available.
Pin 6 and 8 are not connected.
The NAND gate gives a high output for any combination of inputs, except when all inputs are high. The AND gate only gives a high when all inputs are high.
This chip is widely available, and usually comes in a DIL-14 or SOIC-14 package.
An 8-input NAND gate is available as the TTL 7430, but no AND gate is available.
