Activity 1.3.4
Introduction
Who fought in the Battle of Hastings in 1066? Who invented Silly Putty? Which of the Wright brothers flew first? All very important questions, but it would simply be impossible to keep all of the answers to such questions in your head. This is why we turn to the available resources like the Internet and textbooks to retrieve such information when necessary.
The same information overload is true when it comes to integrated circuits. What is the function of a MAN6760? How many pins does an LM555 Timer have? What is the maximum supply voltage for a 74LS08? All of this information and more is available in the manufacturer datasheet for each of these components.
In this activity you will learn how to obtain and extract information from the manufacturer datasheet for several components commonly used in digital electronics.
Conclusion
1. Using the datasheet obtained for the 74LS04 Hex Inverter Gates as a reference, answer the following questions:
What is the nominal Supply Voltage (Vcc)?
5
What is the maximum Free Air Operating Temperature (TA)?
70
What is the typical LOW-to-HIGH Propagation Delay (TPLH)?
3-10
What is the typical distance between two adjacent pins on a 14-Pin Dual-In-Line IC Package?
.007 inch
2. Who is Jack Kilby? What was his contribution to the field of digital electronics?
Jack Kilby was an American Electrical Engineer who invented the integrated circuit
3. In the purpose section, you were asked (i) Who fought in the Battle of Hastings in 1066, (ii) Who invented Silly Putty, and (iii) Which of the Wright brothers flew first.
We can’t leave these questions unanswered, can we? The answers are;
(i) England and France, (ii) James Wright, and (iii) Orville.
4. Likewise, in the purpose section, you were asked;
(i) What is the function of a MAN6760,
(ii) How many pins does an LM555 time have, and
(iii) What is the maximum supply voltage for a 74LS08.
Answer the questions below.
