1. RTL - In common use before the development - Low speed, high power dissipation
First logic family, require minimum number
of ICs. Common Emitter Configuration. of transistors. Low fan out, poor noise immunity
(Resistor Transistor Logic)
Logic 1: 1-3.6 V and Logic 0: 0.2V Operating speed <4MHz.
2. DCTL Direct coupled transistors. Simpler than RTL, easy to fabricate. Small logic swing, poor noise margin.
(Direct Coupled Transistor Logic) Base resistors of RTL are removed. Fewer components hence economical. Current hogging
Use diodes and transistors.
First circuit configuration designed into IC.
3. DTL Very small in size and high reliability at No low and constant output impedance
- Input is fed through diodes followed by in both states.
(Diode Transistor Logic) very low price.
transistor at the output side.
Greater fan out and improved noise margins.
4. TTL Use all transistors totem pole output. Fast switching time, larger fan out. Large current spike when switching
Function of diodes in DTL is performed Reduced silicon chip area. from low to high.
(Transistor-Transistor Logic) by multi-emitter transistor at input Easy to interface with other logic families. - Less noise immunity (0.4V)
- Merged Transistor Logic (MTL). High component density, less power
