Transistor-Transistor Logic (TTL) Lecture L4.1
Transistor-Transistor Logic (TTL) Developed in mid-1960s Large family (74xx) of chips from basic gates to arithmetic logic units Becoming obsolete with the development of programmable logic devices (PLDs)
TTL Chips
TTL NAND, NOR, XOR
TTL Multiple-input Gates
Small-Scale Integrated (SSI) Circuits 1 to 10 gates NAND gate has 4 transistors
Medium-Scale Integrated (MSI) Circuits gates Adders Comparators Multiplexers Decoders
Large-Scale Integrated (LSI) Circuits gates Arithmetic Logic Units
Very-Large-Scale Integrated (VLSI) Circuits >1000 gates Microprocessors Programmable Logic Devices (PLDs) Complex Programmable Logic Devices (CPLDs) Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs)
