Additional Details

The TC4522BP's operating temperature ranges from -40°C to +85°C. The input logic levels are compatible with standard CMOS logic families. Each NOR gate performs the logical NOR operation on its two inputs, producing a high output only when both inputs are low. The output is low if either or both inputs are high. This device is commonly used in conjunction with other logic gates to implement complex digital functions. The standard DIP package facilitates easy prototyping and production.
