Datasheets

The datasheets listed below have been obtained from various places on the Internet. They are all copyrighted by someone but we're not going to worry about that. Datasheets for the newer parts were mostly obtained from the manufacturers or from Jameco and Digi-Key where we order most of our parts. Others were snagged from web sites wherever we could find them.

For older 74LS TTL parts, most came from vendors like T.I., Motorola and Fairchild that used to sell these things. If you are looking for TTL datasheets, try the links below.

Fairchild Semiconductor - They used to have a good collection of very presentable datasheets but it looks like most of the 74LS ones have been removed. Most are not scanned images so if you can find these, it will be easier to read and print out.

On Semiconductor - I think they are mainly a distributer of ICs, not a manufacturer. They may have absorbed Motorola's TTL product line, or at least their tech library. Either way, they have a large collection of datasheets online and they are good quality.

Texas Instruments - TI has a large collection of datasheets online, both for current chips and for many obsolete ones. Many of their files are scans of pages from their printed databooks and the images come out looking pretty bad. If you can't find a non-scanned copy somewhere else, get it from here. However they do have a PDF of a pocket version of their logic data book.

None of these sites are particulary easy to use if you don't know what part you are looking for. If looking for 74 series TTL chips, do a search for "74LSxxxN" where xxx the rest of the part number. The "74LS" will find it in one of the more common logic family, and the "N" says to find a standard plastic package.

Older TTL ICs. These parts are not normally used in current EE459Lx projects. Some are non-74LS parts that are logically compatible with 74LSxx parts, but may have problems electrically due to different fan-in and fan-out. Other parts have have power and ground at non-standard positions or are listed as obsolete by the manufacturers and are no longer being produced. However they are still present in the our stock of parts so if you want to use them you can.

Where to Find Stuff

If you are interested in purchasing electronic components for building projects, here are some links to places we buy parts form.

Jameco Electronics - We used to buy most of our stuff from Jameco before they "improved" their web site. It's now more difficult to find stuff on the web site so you may be better off requesting a printed catalog. It's usually easier to find parts in the printed catalog than online. It will also get you on their mailing list for future catalogs.

Digi-Key - This is our other primary supplier. They send out a printed catalog of over 1000 pages. However the size of the catalog sometimes make it hard to find things.

SparkFun Electronics - This company sells a lot of interesting items for the hobbiest/experimenter. Their inventory changes a lot so you might not be able to buy the same things six months from now.

Modern Device - They seem to have a interesting variety of components including many sensors and related components.

All Electronics - This is basically a surplus store with both new and used components. Their prices on some stuff is very good, provided you can find what you need. You can also visit their store at 14928 Oxnard St., Van Nuys.

B.G. Micro - They sell a wide variety of interesting stuff. Download their PDF format catalog.

Apex Electronics, This is a large electronics surplus store in an industrial area of the San Fernando Valley (8909 San Fernando Road, Sun Valley). If they have something you need, you can probably get it at a good price. It's sometimes hard to find things, but it's worth at least one trip there just to see the place, and its storage area outside in the back.
