CD4012 – Dual 4-Input NAND Gate (CMOS)
The CD4012 is a CMOS logic IC that contains two independent 4-input NAND gates. Each gate performs the logic NAND function where the output is LOW only when all four inputs are HIGH. Otherwise, the output remains HIGH. It is built using high-noise immunity CMOS technology and supports a wide voltage range, making it suitable for both TTL- and CMOS-compatible systems.
