Operation of TTL Gate
o
Case I – At least 1 input is Low
B-E junction of T1 is Forward Biased (Vbe=0.7V), therefore Vb1 ~ 0.2 V + 0.7 V = 0.9 V
For T2 & T3 to be conducting
Vb1 must be at least = 0.6V (B-C junction of T1) + Vbe2 + Vbe3 = 1.6V
Since Vb1(0.9V) < 1.6V , the transistors T2 & T3 are Cut Off.
Hence O/P Y = V(1) =Vcc
o
Case II – All inputs are High
B-E junction of T1 is Reverse Biased , hence Vb1
Assuming T2 & T3 both to be saturated ,then Vc1 = VBE2sat + VBE3sat = 0.8V+0.8V= 1.6 V
As B1 is connected to Vcc through Rb1 & Vc1=1.6 V , C-B junction of T1 is Forward biased
& Ic1 flows in reverse direction driving T2 & T3 in saturation as assumed .
Therefore O/P Y = V(0) = 0.2V
Operation of TTL Gate (contd...)
o Case III – All inputs are High & one input Goes Low
T1 starts conducting & Vb1 drops to 0.9 V. At this point T2 & T3 are still in saturation. T2
& T3 will be turned OFF , only when the stored charges in the T2 & T3 are removed.
Since Vc1= Vb2 = 1.6V , therefore collector base junction of T1 is reverse
biased, and T1 operates in Active region causing large Collector current to flow
in the direction to help fast removal of stored base charge in T2 & T3 .

Operation of Totem-pole Output or Active Pull-up TTL Gate
When O/P Y is in LOW state , transistor T4 & the diode D are Cut-off.
As T2 & T3 are in saturation Vc2 = Vb4 = VBE3 sat + VCE2sat = 0.8V + 0.2V = 1.0V
Since Vout = 0.2V , the voltage drop across T4 & diode D = 1.0 V – 0.2V = 0.8V
This drop is insufficient to start conduction in T4 & Diode D, hence both are Cut-off
When O/P makes transition from LOW to HIGH , transistor T4 enters into Saturation,
& supplies current for charging of Output capacitor Co with a small Time Constant.
This current IC4 is = (VCC - VCE4 sat – VD – Vo) / RC4 =( 5 – 0.2 – 0.7 – 0.2)/0.1 = 39 mA
T4 is in saturation if hFE > 16.5
The Output Voltage Vo
As Vo
exponentially with Time constant = ( RC4 + RCS4 + Rf ) . Co
the base current & collector current of T4 bringing T4 eventually out of conduction
V(1) = Vcc – Vγ(T4) - Vγ (diode) = 5 – 0.5 -0.6 = 3.9 V
Now if all input go HIGH , T2 is turned ON , T4 & diode D goes OFF & T3 conducts
The Capacitor Co discharge through T3 & as Vo approaches V(0) , T3 enters into saturation
Note that Ic4 = 39 mA when the output changes from V(0) to V(1) and the
base current IB4 = 2.4 mA
Thus maximum current of 39 + 2.4 = 41.4 mA . Is drawn from Power Supply
when output changes from V(0) to V(1) This current spike generates Noise
in the Power supply & increases Power dissipation
Wired AND
Must not be used with Totem-pole output circuit due to large current spike
during transition from V(0) to V(1) (41 mA)
TTL gate with Open Collector output can be used for Wired –AND
connections
Open Collector Output
The basic standard TTL NAND gate with RC3 of T3 missing is the TTL with
Open Collector Output
Unconnected inputs
If any of the inputs are left un connected , they are treated as Logical 1

Clamping diodes
Schottky TTL Gate
The Speed of TTL is limited mainly by the turn –off time delay involved when transistor
makes transition from saturation to Cut-off. This can be eliminated bym replacing all the
transistors of TTL gate by Schottky transistors
The transistors are prevented from entering saturation , hence saving of turn-off time.
Propagation delay = 2 ns. as compared 10 ns of standard TTL

of a transistor as shown.
D
C
When transistor is in active region D is reverse biased.
Diode conducts when B-C junction voltage falls to 0.4 V &
thus does not allow Collector voltage of transistor to fall
lower than 0.4 V below base voltage . The collector junction
is not sufficiently forward biased to enter into saturation

the Output is taken at the Common Drain. Input

A CMOS transmission Gate is controlled by gate voltages C & C .
Assume C=1
If A= V(1) , then T1 is OFF & T2 conducts in the ohmic region as there is no voltage applied at the
drain. Therefore T2 acts as a small resistance connecting the output to input & B=A=V(1). Similarly if
A=V(0) then T2 is OFF & T1 conducts connecting output to input & A=B=V(0)
It can also be shown that if C=0 , the transmission is not possible
Gate control input C is binary while A & B can be either digital or analog voltage between V(0) & V(1)
Noise Margin
Considerably higher than that of TTL ICs. CMOS devices have wide Supply voltage range & Noise
Margin increases with the Supply voltage VCC. Typically = 0.45 VCC
Wired – Logic
Wired Logic must not be used with CMOS Logic circuits
CMOS gates with Open drain output can be used for Wired AND operation. In this the drain of the
output transistor (n-channel) is available outside , p-channel load does not exist . The resistance is
connected externally.

Important points to remember :
54C/74C Series is pin to pin , function for function equivalent of 54/74 TTL family &
hence is popular.
Operating Temp. Range:

to + 850 C
54C Series : - 550 C to + 1250 C
Operating Voltage Range : 3 V to 15 V
74 HC
: High Speed CMOS Series
74HCT : High Speed, TTL compatible CMOS Series
74AC/ 74ACT : advanced / advanced , TTL compatible CMOS Series : Are Very fast
and have high current sinking capabilities
74HCT / 74ACT : Can be easily used along with TTL ICs for Optimum System
design from point of view of Speed, power dissipation, noise margin, cost etc
While driving same series :
74 HC / 74HCT Fan out : 20
74 AC / 74ACT Fan out : 50
While driving TTL series :
As Fan out = min ( IOH (CMOS) / I IH (TTL) , IOL(CMOS) / IIL(TTL) )
TTL Table of Specifications must be referred for IIH(TTL) & IIL(TTL) .
Unconnected Inputs
CMOS devices have very high input resistance & even a small static charge flowing can
develop a dangerously high voltage. This may damage insulation layer of the device & person
handling it. Therefore CMOS IC pins should not be left un connected Even for storage
Aluminium foil should be used so that all IC pins will be shorted together avoiding a voltage
development between pins.
Interfacing CMOS & TTL
For Optimum performance devices of more than one Logic family can be used, taking
advantage of superior characteristics of each family. Such as CMOS – Low power
dissipation & TTL for high speed
When CMOS needs to drive TTL in such a mix of Logic families, for such arrangement to
operate properly the following conditions must be satisfied.
VOH (CMOS) ≥VIH (TTL)
----------(1)
VOL (COMS) ≤ VIL (TTL)
----------(2)
-IOH (CMOS) ≥ N IIH (TTL) ----------(3)
IOL(CMOS) ≥ - N IIL (TTL)

The interface diagram is shown

From the table we observe
condition 1 & 2 are always satisfied . The Noise Margins when 74ACT is driving 74ALS
gates are :
Δ 1 = 3.76 – 2.0 = 1.76 V
Δ0 = 0.8 – 0.37 = 0.43 V
The condition 3 & 4 are always satisfied for 74HC/HCT/74AC/84ACT series . The value of
N is different for them. For 74ACT driving 74ALS gates is 240
For 74C driving 74L N=2, 74C driving 74ALS N=3 , but 74C driving other members than
74LS & 74ALS condition 4 is not satisfied . This difficulty is overcome by using CMOS
buffers having adequate available output current.

conditions must be satisfied.
VOH (TTL) ≥VIH (CMOS)

TTL driving CMOS (contd…)
All above conditions are satisfied for 74HCT & 74ACT series for high value of N. Thus
these two series are TTL compatible. But in case of 74C/74HC/74AC series the first
equation is not satisfied. Therefore a circuit modification is used to raise VOH (TTL)
above 3.5 V by connecting a resistance ( ≈ 2kΩ) between points P & VCC as shown in
figure. This resistance acts as a passive pull up, pulling voltage at P by charging a
capacitor CO present between P & Ground terminal to higher value (≈ VCC) after T4 of
TTL becomes non-conducting

TRI-STATE LOGIC
In complex digital systems such as Microprocessors, a number of Gates outputs are
required to be connected to a common line referred to as a Bus, which in turn is
required to drive a number of gates inputs.
When number of gate outputs are to be connected to the Bus, some difficulties
arise as
1. Totem pole outputs can’t be connected together because of very large current
drain from supply and consequent heating of IC
2. Open-Collector outputs though can be connected together with common collector
resistance externally, but it causes loading & affects speed of Operation.
Special circuits are developed to overcome this problem.
In these circuits there is one more state of output , referred to as the third state
or High impedance state, in addition to HIGH & LOW states.
These circuits are called TRI-STATE Logic

When the control input in 1 (HIGH) , the Output is Logic 1 if the data input is 0 & it is
