The 74HC00 is a highspeed CMOS logic IC featuring four independent 2input NAND gates. The NAND gate produces a LOW output only when ALL inputs are HIGH, and a HIGH output when any input is LOW. This is the most versatile logic gate as it is functionally complete - any other logic function (AND, OR, NOT, NOR, XOR) can be constructed using only NAND gates.
