Transistor–transistor logic — (TTL) is a class of digital circuits built from bipolar junction transistors (BJT), and resistors. It is called transistor–transistor logic because both the logic gating function (e.g., AND) and the amplifying function are performed by… … Wikipedia
Diode–transistor logic — DTL redirects here. For other uses, see DTL (disambiguation). Diode–transistor logic (DTL) is a class of digital circuits that is the direct ancestor of transistor–transistor logic. It is called so because the logic gating function (e.g., AND) is … Wikipedia
Logic simulation — is the use of a computer program to simulate the operation of a digital circuit. Logic simulation is the primary tool used for verifying the logical correctness of a hardware design. In many cases logic simulation is the first activity performed… … Wikipedia
Logic gate — A logic gate is an idealized or physical device implementing a Boolean function, that is, it performs a logical operation on one or more logic inputs and produces a single logic output. Depending on the context, the term may refer to an ideal… … Wikipedia
Transistor — For other uses, see Transistor (disambiguation). Assorted discrete transistors. Packages in order from top to bottom: TO 3, TO 126, TO 92, SOT 23 A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify and switch electronic signals and power. It… … Wikipedia
Logic family — In computer engineering, a logic family may refer to one of two related concepts. A logic family of monolithic digital integrated circuit devices is a group of electronic logic gates constructed using one of several different designs, usually… … Wikipedia
Logic probe — A logic probe is a hand held pen like test probe used for analyzing and troubleshooting the logical states (Boolean 0 or 1) of a digital circuit. While most are powered by the circuit under test, some devices use batteries. They can be used on… … Wikipedia
transistor — /tran zis teuhr/, n. 1. Electronics. a semiconductor device that amplifies, oscillates, or switches the flow of current between two terminals by varying the current or voltage between one of the terminals and a third: although much smaller in… … Universalium
Emitter-coupled logic — Motorola ECL 10,000 basic gate circuit diagram[1] In electronics, emitter coupled logic (ECL), is a logic family that achieves high speed by using an overdriven BJT differential amplifier with single ended input, whose emitter current is limited… … Wikipedia
Diode logic — (DL) or diode resistor logic constructs Boolean logic gates from diodes acting as electrically operated switches. While diode logic has the advantage of simplicity, the lack of an amplifying stage in each gate limits its application. Not all… … Wikipedia
