Multifunctional components are components that contain several different function blocks. For example, component 74HC7075 contains two inverters, two NAND gates with two inputs and two D-type flip-flops. It is possible to represent this component with a single symbol, but in many cases it is more convenient to be able to draw the individual parts separately so that each gate can be positioned independently of the others at any point of the schematic.
