74LS02 is a TTL logic IC consisting of four NOR gates, used to perform logic operations in digital logic circuits. NOR gate is a universal gate, meaning you can construct any other logic function (AND, OR, NOT, NAND, XOR, etc.) using only NOR gates.
Part Number: SN74LS02, DM74LS02
Function: Quad 2-Input Positive NOR Gates.
Package: DIP 14 Pin Type
Manufacturer: Fairchild, Hitachi Semiconductor, Texas Instruments

Description
The 74LS02 has four independent Negative-OR (NOR) gates, each with two inputs and one output. A NOR gate outputs “0” if either input is “1”, and outputs “1” only if both inputs are “0”.
Since this IC belongs to the TTL logic family, it requires a 5V power supply. Additionally, input and output operate at the TTL logic level and are TTL compatible.
