There are many IC components, but how to read the part number? Here are 3 steps to help you.
1. Read the serial number from the top side of the IC. The top side of the IC is facing up when the chip is standing on its pins. You may require a magnifying glass while reading the IC serial information.
2. Open your Internet browser and enter the IC’s serial number into either the Google or Yahoo search engines. Once searched you should find a link from the manufacturer’s website with a PDF data sheet available for download. Download and open it.
3. Read over the the data sheet and you will find technical information on the IC’s performance and voltage characteristics. These characteristics are necessary information if a user is to implement the IC into a design scheme. For an example, the MC74HC00 data sheet is available for download in the “Resources” section of this page.
