• Diode–transistor logic (DTL)
• Transistor–transistor logic (TTL)
Resistor–transistor logic (RTL)
• basic logic circuits
• RTL logic is popular because of its simplicity
RTL circuit consists
resistors at inputs and
Transistors at the output side
• Transistors are used as the switching device.
• emitter of the transistor is connected to the ground
• The collector terminals are tied together and given
to the supply through the resistor R C.
• The collector resistor is known as a passive pull-up
resistor.

Limitations
When the transistor is switched on,
the power dissipation increases as the current
flows through base and collector. Also, the RTL
gate has poor noise margin, poor fan-out and
the propagation delay is more.
