  1. Voltage Transfer Characteristic for TTL • Summary of transfer characteristic • When the input is low, • The current iR goes out the E of Q1 • So Q2 and Q3 get no base current and are off • So the output is high • When the input increases, • Some of iR gets directed into the B of Q2, so Q2 gets some base current and comes on in active mode • C current of Q2 increases, so IR drop across R1 increases and output voltage drops (B to C) • As Q2 comes on, it provides base current to Q3 and Q3 come on in active mode (C). • When the input increases further, • More of iR gets directed into the C of Q1, so Q2 gets more base current and moves into the saturation mode (C to D) • Q2 provides more base current to Q3and thenQ3moves into saturation mode (D). • Further increases in the input direct all of iRintothe C of Q1, so Q2 gets even more base current and moves deeper into the saturation mode (D to E). Similarly, Q3 moves deeper into saturation.

  2. Voltage Transfer Characteristic for TTL • Noise Margins • Noise Margin for low state NML = VIL -VOL • VOL = low output voltage for typical high input voltage = 0.1 V • VIL= maximum input voltage recognized as a low input = 0.5 V • NML = VIL-VOL =0.5 V - 0.1 V = 0.4 V • Noise Margin for high state NMH = VOH -VIH • VOH = high output voltage for typical low input voltage = 3.7 V • VIH= minimum input voltage recognized as a high input = 1.4 V • NMH = VOH -VIH = 3.7 V- 1.4V = 2.3 V • Noise margins are very unequal for this technology.

  4. Voltage Transfer Characteristic for TTL • What is the function of Q4? • Q4 is weakly on but producing little current when the output is low. • This helps to minimize power dissipation since Q3 is on and in saturation so ready to conduct current. • Q4 is weakly on when the output is high. • This is because the following gate has a reverse biased E junction for Q1 and so draws almost no current. • The reason Q4 is included in the circuit is to provide a large current to ensure a fast transition time when the output is going from low to high so tPLH is small. • At all other times we want Q4 off (or only weakly on) to minimize power dissipation. • A simple resistor in place of Q4 gives a very long rise time ~ 100’s nsec, as we saw for the RTL inverter, so the use of Q4 and the diode D is an improvement.

  5. Transistor - Transistor Logic (TTL) Fan – Out Capability • What is the ability (fan-out) of the TTL logic to drive simultaneously a number of subsequent inverters? • Fan-out = NMax = maximum number of subsequent inverters that can be simultaneously driven (connected to the output). • For the output high, i.e. vo = 3.7 V, the output is connected to a reverse biased E junction for Q1 for each subsequent inverter, so current load is very small. • However, for output low, i.e. vo = 0.1 V • E junction of each Q1 forward biased, so • So this adds to the collector current of Q3 so iC3 = N iE1 = N (1.0 mA) • Fan-out limit = maximum value of N • In saturation, iC3 < βiB3 • In active, iC3 = βiB3 • So limit is when Q3 comes out of saturation into active mode and iC3 = βiB3. VCC = 5 V R3 = 0.13 K iRi = 1 mA p n iC3 iE1 =1 mA + + VCE3 + _ vo _ sat Recall, we found when the output was low Fan-out limt Bipolar Digital Pt. 4

  6. TTL Propagation Delay Output going high vo • Output going high • Input goes low • Transistors Q2 and Q3 turn off (cutoff) due to low input to gate. • Large charging current flows through Q4 to charge up C. • Q4 called pull-up transistor • Charging time is small ~ 1 nsec • tPLH is the time it takes the output to rise from VOL = VCE,sat = 0.1 V to 1/2(VOH + VOL) = ½(3.7+0.1) V = 1.9 V iC4 VOH= 3.7V iB4 iR Goes on 1.9V iE4 iCap Goes off Goes low + vo Goes high VCE,sat = 0.1 V C t Goes off tPLH Bipolar Digital Pt. 4

  7. TTL Propagation Delay Output going high • Charging current for capacitor is emitter current of Q4. • At outset, vo= VCE,sat = 0.1 V, so iB4 and VCE4 are initially large • Charging current iCap≈ iE4 is large since for  = 10 • As vo rises, iB4 decreases, so iE4 = iCap decreases, but Q4 stays in active mode. • At vo = 1.9V • So iE4 = iC hasdecreased to • So capacitor charging current is not constant and calculation of tPLH is more difficult. vo iC4 iB4 VOH= 3.7V 1.9V iE4 iCap VOH= 0.1V t tPLH vo C iC4 Goes high R S P vCE4 Bipolar Digital Pt. 4

  8. TTL Propagation Delay Output going high • Approximating the charging current for capacitor as a constant (average value), • We can calculate the propagation delay tPLH using vo iC4 iB4 VOH= 3.7V iE4 iCap VOH= 0.2V t vo tPLH C iC4 Goes high R S So Q4 provides a large charging current to reduce the rise time for the output going high.

  9. TTL Propagation Delay Output going low • Output going low • Input goes high • Transistors Q2 and Q3 turn on (first in active then saturation) as iR is redirected from the input into the base of Q2 • Q4 is turned off as VB4 = VCC – iR1 R1 decreases since iR1≈ iC2. • Large discharge current flows through Q3 • Q3 called pull-down transistor • Discharge time is small ~ 1 nsec • tPHL is time it takes the output to fall from VOH = 3.7 V to 1/2(VOH + VOL) = ½(3.7+0.1) V = 1.9 V vo iR1 VOH = 3.7V iR Goes off iB2 iCap 1.9V Goes on + iB3 vo Goes low iC3 Goes high VCE,sat = 0.1 V C t tPHL Goes on Bipolar Digital Pt. 4

  11. Power Dissipation for Transistor - Transistor Logic (TTL) • For input high and output low. • Q2 and Q3are in SATURATION. • Since Q2 is in saturation mode, iC2<βiB2 but VCE2 = 0.2 V and • Q4 is weakly on, iC4 ≈ 0. • Power dissipation VCC = 5 V iR1 iC4=0 R3 = 0.13 K iR VB1 VC2 p io n + sat vi = 3.7V low _ sat Bipolar Digital Pt. 4
