7400-series integrated circuits

The 7400 series of integrated circuits (ICs) were one of the most popular logic families of transistor–transistor logic (TTL) logic chips. In 1964, Texas Instruments introduced the first members of their ceramic semiconductor package series, the SN5400s. A low-cost plastic package SN7400 series was introduced in 1966 which quickly gained over 50% of the logic chip market, and eventually becoming de facto standardized electronic components. Over the decades, many generations of pin-compatible descendant families evolved to include support for low power CMOS technology, lower supply voltages, and surface mount packages.
