What must be done to interface TTL to CMOS?
A dropping resistor must be used on the CMOS 12 V supply to reduce it to 5 V for the TTL.
As long as the CMOS supply voltage is 5 V, they can be interfaced; however, the fan-out of the TTL is limited to five CMOS gates.
A 5 V Zener diode must be placed across the inputs of the TTL gates in order to protect them from the higher output voltages of the CMOS gates.
A pull-up resistor must be used between the TTL output-CMOS input node and Vcc; the value of RP will depend on the number of CMOS gates connected to the node.

What are the major differences between the 5400 and 7400 series of ICs?
The 5400 series are military grade and require tighter supply voltages and temperatures.
The 5400 series are military grade and allow for a wider range of supply voltages and temperatures.
The 7400 series are an improvement over the original 5400s.
The 7400 series was originally developed by Texas Instruments. The 5400 series was brought out by National Semiconductors after TI's patents expired, as a second supply source.
