Realization of Logic Gates using DTL, TTL, ECL, etc.
Aim: To realize the truth table of basic gate (NOT, AND, OR) and universal gates (NAND
and NOR) using RTL (using Resistor Transistor Logic)/ DTL (Diode Transistor Logic)

4. Theory:
A bipolar transistor switch is the simplest RTL gate (inverter or NOT gate) implementing logical
negation. It consists of a common-emitter stage with a base resistor connected between the base and
the input voltage source. The role of the base resistor is to expand the very small transistor input
voltage range (about 0.7 V) to the logical "1" level (about 3.5 V) by converting the input voltage
into current. Its resistance is settled by a compromise: it is chosen low enough to saturate the
transistor and high enough to obtain high input resistance. The role of the collector resistor is to
convert the collector current into voltage; its resistance is chosen high enough to saturate the
transistor and low enough to obtain low output resistance (high fan-out).
DTL logic family:
The first diode–transistor logic family of integrated circuits was introduced by Signetics in 1962.
DTL was also made by Fairchild and Westinghouse. A family of diode logic and diode–transistor
logic integrated circuits was developed by Texas Instruments for the D-37C Minuteman II
Guidance Computer in 1962, but these devices were not available to the public.
A variant of DTL called "high-threshold logic" incorporated Zener diodes to create a large offset
between logic 1 and logic 0 voltage levels. These devices usually ran off a 15 volt power supply
and were found in industrial control, where the high differential was intended to minimize the
effect of noise.

8. Precaution:
1. Input must be off 5 volts.
2. Connections should be jointed correctly.
3. Connections must be tight.
