Characteristics of Digital IC's

This document summarizes key characteristics of digital integrated circuits (ICs) including propagation delay time, fan-out factor, and output characteristics. It also provides an overview of common digital IC technologies such as TTL, TTL-LS, TTL-OC, CMOS, and H-CMOS. Propagation delay time refers to the time it takes for an IC's outputs to change state after its inputs change state. Fan-out factor indicates how many compatible devices can be connected to one output. Output characteristics include bipolar, unipolar, and tri-state outputs. An overview of IC technologies describes their typical delay times and power consumptions.

Propagationdelaytime
Propagation delay time is defined as time needed for d. device to change states of it's outputs after
