2. Two Kinds of Transistors
In Semiconductor Devices & Circuits (EET 201) you’ll study two major classes of transistors:
Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs)
Metal-Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFETs)

3. Logic Families Two major logic families:
TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) based on bipolar junction transistors
CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) based on MOSFETs
Within each family are several subfamilies: see tables on page 135.
Originally, TTL chips were fast but used lots of power, and CMOS chips used little power but were slow.
CMOS chips are sensitive to static discharge, and must be handled carefully.
-These families vary by speed, power consumption, cost, voltage & current levels…. 3

4. 7400 Series and 4000 Series
A popular series of TTL chips is the 7400 series that you’ve used in previous courses: Wikipedia's list
A popular series of CMOS chips is the 4000 series: Wikipedia's list
To provide part number and pin number compatibility with the 7400 series, a later series of CMOS chips was developed as the 74HC00 series.
-Note that many in the 7400 list say “open-collector output” or “three-state output.”
-Pass around TTL Cookbook & CMOS Cookbook. 4

5. Basic Operational Characteristics and Parameters
Consult datasheets for
DC supply voltage
Logic levels & noise margin
Power dissipation
Propagation delay
Speed-power product
Loading and fan-out
Example datasheets:
7404 TTL inverter
74HC04 CMOS inverter
A slide on each of these follows.

6. DC Supply Voltages
TTL chips are optimized for 5 V supply, and cannot tolerate voltages far above or below 5 V.
CMOS chips may be optimized for 5 V, 3.3 V, 2.5 V, or 1.8 V supplies. Most CMOS chips can tolerate a much wider range of supply voltages than TTL chips.

7. Logic Levels
Four key voltage parameters when you’re interfacing logic:
VIH(min) = the minimum voltage that an input pin will recognize as a HIGH.
VIL(max) = the maximum voltage an input pin will recognize as a LOW.
VOH(min) = the minimum voltage that can appear on a HIGH output pin.
VOL(max) = the maximum voltage that can appear on a LOW output pin.
Check datasheets, & fill in practiceICTech.doc

8. Logic levels for TTL

9. Noise Margin VNH = VOH(min) − VIH(min) VNL = VIL(max) − VOL(max)
The noise margin is the room for error between the voltage that an output pin produces and the voltage that an input pin expects.
Typo on p. 773 of Floyd: Equations 14-1 and 14-2 should say:
VNH = VOH(min) − VIH(min)
VNL = VIL(max) − VOL(max)

10. Power Dissipation
Recall that power equals current times voltage (P=IV).
So a gate’s power dissipation is given by its supply voltage (VCC) times its supply current (ICC).
A lower-power device wastes less energy, generates less heat, and costs less to run than a higher-power device.

11. Propagation Delay
Recall that data sheets specify propagation delays for low-to-high transitions (tPLH) and high-to-low transitions (tPHL).
A device with a smaller propagation delay can run faster (at a higher frequency) than a device with a higher propagation delay.
Check datasheets, & fill in practiceICTech.doc

12. Speed-Power Product
A useful overall measure of a device’s performance is its speed-power product, found by multiplying its average power dissipation times its average propagation delay.
The lower the speed-power product, the better.

13. Current-Sourcing and Current-Sinking
For TTL:
A HIGH output sources current
A LOW output sinks current.
Figure in Floyd

14. Fan-out
Fan-out means the number of load inputs that a given output can drive.
With TTL, current is the limiting factor in determining fan-out.
With CMOS, capacitance is the limiting factor.

15. Calculating TTL Fan-out
For a standard TTL gate:
A LOW input sources up to 1.6 mA.
A LOW output can sink up to 16 mA.
Also:
A HIGH input sinks up to 40 A.
A HIGH output can source up to 400 A.
Thus, standard TTL has a fan-out of 10.

16. Unused Inputs
Recall that unused inputs should not be left floating. Either tie them to VCC through a 1-kΩ resistor or tie them to ground.
(See Figure in Floyd for two other options.) 16

17. Three Kinds of Outputs TTL chips can have three kinds of outputs:
Totem-pole (the most common)
Open-collector
Three-state

18. Totem-Pole Output
Most chips you’ve used up to now have had totem-pole outputs.

19. Figure 14.27 A standard TTL inverter circuit.
-In analog circuits, transistors typically behave as amplifiers. In digital circuits, they act as switches, either in cutoff or saturation.
-If input is LOW, Q1 on, Q2 off, Q3 off, Q4 on. If input is HIGH, Q1 off, Q2 on, Q3 on, Q4 off.

20. Open-Collector Output
Missing a transistor internally, so you must provide an external pull-up resistor.
Allows for the use of higher-than-usual voltages and currents.
Allows a trick called “wired-AND,” which means you can AND the outputs of two chips by tying them directly together. (Never tie totem-pole outputs together.)

21. Figure 14.31 TTL inverter with open-collector output.
Advantage is higher current-carrying capacity.

22. Figure 14.32 Open-collector symbol in an inverter.

23. Some Open-Collector Chips
7405 (Hex Inverters with Open-Collector Outputs)
7409 (Quad 2-Input AND with Open-Collector Outputs)
7412 (Triple 3-Input NAND with Open-Collector Outputs)
Others: 7422, 7433 23

24. Three-State Output
In addition to the two usual output states (HIGH and LOW), has a third output state called high-impedance (“high-Z”).
In the high-Z state, the output is disconnected from the external circuit.
Useful when the outputs of many chips are tied to the same bus: at any time, only one of them should be connected to the bus.

-When input is LOW, Q1 is on and Q2 is off.
-When input is HIGH, Q1 is off and Q2 is on.

29. Three Kinds of CMOS Outputs
Like TTL chips, CMOS chips can have two kinds of special-purpose outputs instead of the usual outputs:
Open-drain
Similar to open-collector in TTL
Requires an external pull-up resistor
Three-state
