The HC series are C-MOS devices: 2 to 6V voltage range, fast logic The LS series are TTL devices, 4.5 to 5.5V voltage range, slower. standard logic. The HCT series are also C-MOS, 4.5 to 5.5V voltage range and levels compatible with TTL. the 4000 series are C-MOS, 3 to 15 and even 18V the C-MOS devices have a lower power consumption than TTL, and its fan-out capacity is also smaller than TTL > Thanks You're welcome..
