The 7404 is a high-speed CMOS Logic Quad NOT Gate. 7404 contains Six independent NOT gates in one package. The NOT gate consists of only one input and one output. A NOT gate is used to output the Boolean inverse of the applied input. Hence the name ‘Digital Inverter’ or ‘Inverting buffer’. The most commonly used NOT gate IC is 7404.
