Reading a 74-series part number
The number after 74 names the function: every 7400 is a quad 2-input NAND and every 74138 is a 3-to-8 decoder, whoever makes it. The letters in the middle name the technology. LS is low-power Schottky TTL, the family most teaching labs stock; HC and HCT are CMOS parts that use far less power. Parts with the same number generally share a pinout across families, though their voltages and currents differ.
Every chip here runs from a single 5 V supply. Most put VCC on the last pin and GND on the pin diagonally opposite — pin 14 and pin 7 on a 14-pin package, pin 16 and pin 8 on a 16-pin one — but a few older parts, such as the 74LS76, 74LS90 and 74LS83, put them in the middle. Each page's pin diagram shows where.
