1.1.6 Component Identification - Digital

Explain the relationship between transistors, logic gates, and integrated circuits (ICs).

• Transistors are used to build logic gates, which are then used to create integrated circuits.

• Logic gates are used to build transistors, which are then used to create integrated circuits.

• Integrated circuits are used to build transistors, which are then used to create logic gates.

• Transistors, logic gates, and integrated circuits are unrelated components.

Transistor-Transistor Logic (TTL) is a type of digital circuit used in electronics. Which of the following best describes its primary characteristic?

• It uses bipolar junction transistors.

• It is based on field-effect transistors.

• It operates at very low power levels.

• It is primarily used in analog circuits.

The TTL logic gate numbering system is used to:

• Identify the type and function of TTL logic gates

• Measure the speed of TTL circuits

• Determine the power consumption of TTL devices

• Calculate the cost of TTL components
