• TTL: Transistor-transistor logic

• ECL: Emitter-coupled logic.

• IIL : Integrated injection logic.

• MOS ICs: Metal-oxide-semiconductor ICs.


Diode Logic (DL)

In Diode logic, all the logic is implemented with the use of resistors and diodes

The purpose of the diodes is to perform OR and AND operations.


• Diodes can also be used as a logical switch

oThe disadvantage of Diodes is that they tend to degrade the signals quickly.

oDiodes also cannot work for multiple stages, only one stage at a time.

oThe diodes also cannot perform the NOT operation which limits their functionality.
Resistor-Transistor Logic (RTL)
üIn resistor-transistor logic, all the logic is implemented with the use of transistors
and resistors
üResistor-Transistor gates are not very expensive and are very simple to
construct.
ü RTL gates can be used as amplifiers as well to amplify small signals.

ü The drawback in using RTL gates is that they draw a great amount of current
from the power supply.

üThey are used in slower applications, but cannot be used in today's computers as
they cannot switch at high speeds.
1. If any input is high the corresponding transistor is driven into
saturation
2. This causes output as low
3. If all input are low at 0.2v all transistors are cutoff because
Diode Transistor Logic (DTL)
ØIn Diode-transistor logic, all the logic is implemented with the use of diodes
and transistors.

ØDTL has some advantages over DL and RTL. As the diodes can perform AND
and OR operations but along with a transistor the output signal can be amplified

ØThe switching speed of the transistor is limited due to the input resistor to
transistor.

DTL was used in early vacuum tube computers.

8-5 TTL Loading and Fan Out
Fan out refers to the load drive capability of an IC
output
A TTL output has a limit on how much current it can sink in the
LOW state
A TTL output has a limit on how much current it can source in
the HIGH state.
Exceeding these currents will result in output voltage levels
outside specified ranges

•Maximum fan-out is limited by lowest fan-out, 5 in this case.

•Maximum sink (implies low output) current = fan-out x IL = 5 x -1.6 mA = -8.0mA.

Improved SOI MOS transistor

•A MOSFET is formed on a thin SOI layer over a buried oxide (BOX)
layer.

• The entire MOSFET is enclosed in a silicon oxide layer.

• The process technology is similar to conventional CMOS technology.

• Low capacitance near source/drain leads to high-speed operation.


Silicon on Insulator

In a conventional device, the drain junction capacitance consists


of a capacitance between the drain and the substrate.

In SOI structures, the capacitance between drain and substrate


consists of a series capacitance. The BOX capacitance has a


dielectric constant 1/3 smaller than Si.
Silicon on Insulator

The threshold voltage of the MOSFET is a function of the source-


substrate voltage – body effect.

In SOI structures (unlike the conventional case), the body is


floating so there is no body effect.


BiCMOS
CMOS is limited by speed

ECL is 2 to 5 times faster than CMOS but ECL has high power
consumption which makes VLSI difficult

the output and faster
operation than CMOS.

when driving large
BiCMOS
• Similar to CMOS but better capacitance-driving capabilities.

CMOS is better for driving small loads because of the added


complexity of BiCMOS. BiCMOS is better for driving large


capacitive loads such as gate arrays and memories.

•The use of BiCMOS in ICs like ALUs is not likely because of


the complexity of BiCMOS.

• Built-in voltages like VBE(on) do not scale, which limits the range of supply voltages
that can be used.

• The non-scalability of built-in voltages is one of the most important deficiencies of bipolar technology.

• BiCMOS probably not used with supply voltages under 3V.
