My Physics teacher bought some ICs at a garage sale for use in his electronics cirriculum. Problem is, we don't know what they are (do). there are three of them. As far as I can tell, though looking up the part numbers, they are made by Harris Semiconductor, who is defunct (I guess, their website sure doesn't work). So here are the numbers from the top ofthe chips

1.
CD4011BE
H9527

Pins : 14

2.
CD4028BE
H9531

Pins : 16

3.
CD4029BE
H9618

Pins : 16

Thanks in advance, looking forward to knowing what these things are.
 
If you type the part number into google it will almost always come up with the data sheet. The first line is the part number the second is the date code.
 
I found "some" info on them, being I am only a student, would youmind explaining the concepts of these parts?

1.
CD4011BE
H9527

Pins : 14

CMOS QUAD 2-INPUT NAND GATE

2.
CD4028BE
H9531

Pins : 16

CMOS BCD-TO-DECIMAL DECODER

3.
CD4029BE
H9618

Pins : 16

CMOS PRESETTABLE UP/DOWN COUNTER

In a sense, what is CMOS (I know CMOS as it is related to PCs (I am preparing for A+ certification), What do each of these chips do (in a nutshell)?

Thanks for your reply, bmcculla
 
CMOS stands for "Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor" in other words, N and P type MOS transistors. These are connected to allow logic operations such as AND, OR, NOT, etc. If you don't know what BCD (binary coded decimal) is, do a google search and find out.
