4. Use the red test lead from the Tracker 2800's Signal jack. Probe the enable input pins of the IC and
view their signatures on the signature display. For this example, the enable pins of the 74LS245 are
pin 1 and 19 and will have the same signatures. (Note: This is only for ICs out of circuit.)
5. Change the range to 10V, 100, 200Hz. Use the red test lead from the Tracker 2800's Signal jack.
Probe the power supply V

example, the V

Compare these signatures with other signatures of discrete components such as transistors and diodes.
Note that there are quite a few similarities here.
Signatures for Different Logic Chip Families
There are a wide variety of logic circuit families. Each has its special functions, advantages, and
limitations. They range from TTL and its variations (F, LS, S, etc.), emitter-coupled logic (ECL), to
the complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) and its variations (C, HC, HCT, VC, etc.).
Comparing Two TTL Logic Families
Although the logic function is the same, there are differences in the circuitry of each logic family.
These differences can be readily seen in their signatures
using the Tracker 2800.
We will illustrate these concepts with the following example of
two hex inverters, a 7404 and a 74LS04 from different logic
families. From the logic diagram below, you can see that they
have the same logic functions and pin order. The difference is that
the LS chip uses Schottky transistors in its internal
construction for increased performance and reduced power
consumption. Note that there are only four types of circuit
connections and therefore only four signatures on this
chip: inverter inputs, inverter outputs, V
CC
and ground.

Note the differences between the two logic families. They have the same logic function but different
construction, therefore different signatures. To test one of these chips without another reference chip
available just compare each input's signature with the other five inputs. Similarly, compare each
output's signature with the other five outputs.

CMOS Logic Family
CMOS circuits are constructed differently than TTL circuits. The inputs to CMOS transistors are
capacitive due to the use of field-effect transistors (FET) instead of bipolar transistors used in TTL.
In this example, we will choose a 74HC14 Schmidt
Trigger Hex Inverter. The HC designation means that
it's a member of the high-speed CMOS logic family.
From the block diagram of this part, you can see that it
has only four different circuit functions. They are
inverter input, inverter output, power supply V
CC
input,
and power supply ground.
Do the following to display the analog signatures of a digital IC:
1. Select the 50 and 10V, 60 Hz range.
2. Place or clip the black test lead from the Tracker 2800's Common jack to the IC's ground pin. For
this example, the ground pin of the 74HC14 is pin 7.
3. Use the red test lead from the Tracker 2800's Signal jack and probe each pin of the IC. For this
example, pins 1, 3, 5, 9, 11, and 13 are all input buffer circuits so they will have identical
signatures. (Note: This is only for ICs out of circuit.)
4. Similarly, use the red test lead and probe the output buffer pins 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12. These pins
will have the same signatures. (Note: This is only for ICs out of circuit.)
5. Use the red test lead from the Tracker 2800's Signal jack and probe the power supply V
CC
input
pin. For this example, the V
CC
pin of the 74HC14 is pin 14.
