| Abstract | This thesis is an investigation of the characteristics of transistor-coupled logic using both theoretic and experimental methods. The steady state and transient behavior of the transistor are first investigated, especially as applied to the common emitter configuration. A number of references giving further information are cited. Next, the characteristics of a number of commonly used logic circuits are investigated. Their major advantages and disadvantages are noted, mainly for comparison purposes. A number of papers which may be of further interest are cited. Finally, the characteristics of transistor-coupled logic circuits are investigated. Comparison is made with other circuits now in use and advantages and disadvantages are discussed. The circuit parameters which affect circuit performance, both steady state and transient, are investigated at length. For purpose of illustration a particular transistor is selected and a worst case design performed using it. Transistor-coupled logic is found to be a fast, simple, reliable logic circuit, the main disadvantage being that of cost. Because of its simplicity and high speed, it should find a great deal of application in integrated circuitry. In integrated form it should be very competitive with other logic circuits now available. |
