| Inverter |
As the name implies, inverter will invert the number entered. If you enter “0”, you will get a “1” on its output, and if you enter a “1”, you will get a “0” on its output. The inverter symbol you can see on Figure 1. Inverter gate is also known as NOT and its output is Y = /A.

On logic circuits, a “o” symbol is a short for inverter. You will see that on logic gates like NAND, NOR and XNOR.
The most famous inverter integrated circuit is 7404 and you see its pinout on Figure 2. It has six inverters inside. To make this integrated circuit work, you need to connect it to a 5 V power supply.
