  • 7400-Family IC Stash

    Over the years I’ve accumulated a bunch of obsolete ICs; all I can say is they weren’t obsolete at the time. Sometimes I need one, so here’s a list of the jelly-bean collection where I can find & update it as parts emerge from their hidey-holes in the Heap.

    • 221 monstable (!)
    • 139 1-to-4 decoder
    • 156 2-to-4 dual demux / decoder
    • F521 8-bit comparator
    • 373 8-bit latch (transparent)
    • 374 8-bit latch (clocked)
    • 74 dual D flipflop
    • 244 8-bit buffer
