4N25 Phototransistor Optocoupler IC

4N25 optocoupler pin diagram pinout

4N25 belongs to one of the most famous families of optocouplers.  Other optocouplers that have almost similar features are 4N27, 4N27 and4N28. We will discuss all these optoisolators in a single article because they have the same function and pin diagram. All these optocouplers consist of a photodiode and a phototransistor. Gallium arsenide material is … Read more

74LS00 – Quad 2 input NAND Gate

74LS00 pinout

74LS00 is one of the famous and most basic gates from a family of logic gates. There are three kinds of gates, AND, OR and NOT. All three gates come up with different internal circuit and they have different uses in every device. By combining these three circuits we can make some other gates which … Read more

Max232 IC pinout, features, pins description, and example

MAX232 pinout

RS232 standard was used to transfer data between two devices as serial communication. This standard was introduced by TIA/EIA, which was also known as TIA/EIA 32. RS232 has some limitations. It was unable to communicate with TTL/CMOS. To solve this issue and IC named “MAX232” was introduced by “Maximum Integrated Product” in 1987. Recommended Components … Read more
