Logic Families - History
l The first transistors were fabricated in 1947 at
Bell Laboratories (Bell Labs) by Brattain with
Bardeen providing the theoretical background
and Shockley managed the activity.
l – The trio received a Nobel Prize in Physics
for their work in 1956.
l The transistor was called a point-contact
transistor and was a type of bipolar junction
transistor (BJT).

Logic Families - History
l The theory on field effect transistors (FETs)
was developed much earlier than our
understanding of BJTs .
– First patent on FETs dates from 1925
• Julius Edgar Lilienfeld, an Austro-Hungarian
physicist.
l However, the quality of the semiconductor and
the oxide materials were barriers to developing
good working devices.
– The first FET was not invented until 1959
• Dawon Kahng and Martin M. (John) Atalla of Bell Labs

Logic Families - History
l Integrated circuits (ICs) are chips, pieces of
semiconductor material, that contain all of the
transistors, resistors, and capacitors
necessary to create a digital circuit or system.
l The first ICs were fabricated using Ge BJTs in
1958.
l Jack Kirby of Texas Instruments, Nobel Prize in
2000
l Robert Noyes of Fairchild Semiconductors
fabricated the first Si ICs in 1959.

l SSI Small scale integration - 12 gates/chip
l MSI Medium scale integration - 100 gates/chip
l LSI Large scale integration - 1K gates/chip

Logic Families - History
l Moore’s law:
lA prediction made by Moore (a co-founder of
Intel) in 1965: “… a number of transistors to
double every 2 years”.

Logic Families
l Logic families are sets of chips that may
implement different logical functions, but use
the same type of transistors and voltage levels
for logical levels and for the power supplies.

l These families vary by speed, power


consumption, cost, voltage & current levels.

Logic Families
l IC digital logic families.
Ø DL (Diode- logic)
Ø DTL (Diode-transistor logic )
Ø RTL (Resistor-transistor logic )
Ø TTL (Transistor -transistor logic )
Ø ECL (Emitter-coupled logic )
Ø MOS ( Metal-oxide semiconductor )
Ø CMOS (Complementary Metal-oxide
semiconductor )

Logic Families
l Digital IC Terminology: Voltage Parameters
Ø VIH(min): high-level input voltage, the minimum
voltage level required for a logic 1 at an input.

Ø VIL(max): low-level input voltage

Ø VOH(min): high-level output voltage

Ø VOL(max): low-level output voltage

Logic Families
l Digital IC Terminology: Voltage Parameters
l For proper operation the input voltage levels to a logic
must be kept outside the indeterminate range.
l Lower than VIL(max) and higher than VIH(min).

Logic Families
l Digital IC Terminology: Noise Margin
l Noise is present in all real systems.
l This adds random fluctuations to voltages
representing logic levels.
l To cope with noise, the voltage ranges defining the
logic levels are more tightly constrained at the output
of a gate than at the input.
l Thus small amounts of noise will not affect the circuit.
l The maximum noise voltage that can be tolerated by a
circuit is termed its noise immunity (noise Margin).

Logic Families
l Digital IC Terminology: fanout –

l The maximum number of standard logic inputs


that an output can drive reliably.

l Also known as the loading factor.

Logic Families
l Digital IC Terminology: Power Requirements –

l Every IC needs a certain amount of electrical


power to operate.
l Vcc (TTL)
l VDD(MOS)

Logic Families
l Digital IC Terminology: Speed-Power Product
l Desirable properties:
l Short propagation delays (high speed).
l Low power dissipation

l Speed-power product measures the combined


effect.

Logic Families
l Interfacing logic families:

Logic Families
l Interfacinglogic families: Voltage
l In some interfacing situations, a HIGH output
pin may produce a voltage that is too low to be
recognized as a HIGH by the input pin it’s
connected to.

l The solution in such cases is to use a pull-up


resistor.

Logic Families
l Interfacinglogic families: Voltage
l Example: TTL to CMOS
Ø A TTL HIGH output may be as low as 2.4 V.
Ø But a CMOS input expects HIGHs to be at least 3.33 V

Course Code - 19004000 RNB Global University, Bikaner. 48


Logic Families
l Interfacing logic families: Current
l In some interfacing situations, either a HIGH
output pin may not source enough current to
drive the input pin it’s connected to, or a LOW
output pin may not sink enough current to
drive the input pin it’s connected to.

l The solution in such cases is to use a buffer.

Logic Families
l Interfacing
logic families: Current
l Example: CMOS to TTL
l A CMOS LOW output can only sink 0.51 mA.
l But as much as 1.6 mA may flow out of a TTL LOW
input.
l It can also be used for increasing the fanout.
