What are some of the other more common factors? Just like a list that I could research on my own.
Several factors help one decide which IC family type were best for any one specific application, power consumption per function, input noise immunity, Vcc operating voltage range, etc.
TTL logic using npn/pnp transistors were 'king of the hill' for many decades for most applications, but gradually CMOS logic using mosfet transistors improved where they are the dominate tech used these days.
