CD4001 – Quad 2‑Input NOR Gate 14‑pin DIp

⚙️ CD4001 – Quad 2‑Input CMOS NOR Gate IC (14‑pin DIP)

📝 Overview

The CD4001 is a CMOS-based integrated circuit that houses four independent 2-input NOR gates within a single 14-pin package. It operates over a broad voltage range (3 V to 18 V), making it suitable for diverse logic applications—such as gating, inversion, timing, and SR latches—in electronics and microcontroller projects ti.com+14circuits-diy.com+14circuits-diy.com+14.

🔧 Example Usage

  • NOR Logic: Outputs HIGH only when all inputs are LOW

  • Digital Latching: Build SR latches using two NOR gates

  • Oscillator & Timer: Compose RC timers or blinking circuits 

  • Logic Probes: Design simple testing tools (e.g. LED indicators)

📦 Applications

  • Digital gating, signal conditioning

  • SR latch and memory circuits

  • Timers, oscillators, delay elements

  • Alarm or blink generators 

  • Universal NOR-based logic arrays
