Hello I have created a symbol for that system where there's "seventh gate" that bears solely the power. The symbol I have created (and is attached) is such a "seventh gate".
There will be another symbol for gates that have power on 16-8, other that have 5-10 etc. However also the existing symbols have to be changed, the net:Vcc and net:gnd connection must be removed. For example I am making an optical isolator where there are two 74HCT04's, one on each side of the optocoupler. If the original symbols were used, then in the stage of making the PCB, the powers and grounds would result connected and it wouldn't be an isolator at all. Tell me what do you think about this symbol and if it can be put into the 7400 official symbol directory. How should be the new fixed gates named? 7400-3.sym etc.? Cl<
