© 2000 by CRC Press LLC IC Logic Families and Subfamilies The integrated circuit logic families actually consist of several subfamilies of ICs that differ in various performance characteristics. The TTL logic family has been the most widely used family type for applications that employ small-scale integration (SSI) or medium-scale integration (MSI) integrated circuits. Lower power consumption and higher levels of integration are the principal advantages of the CMOS family. The ECL family is generally used in applications that require high-speed switching logic. Today, the most common device numbering system used in the TTL and CMOS families has a prefix of 54 (generally used in military applications and having an operating temperature range of –55 to 125°C) and 74 (generally used in industrial/commercial applications and having an operating temperature range of 0 to 70°C). Table 79.2 identifies various logic families and subfamilies. TTL Logic Family The TTL family has been the most widely used logic family for many years in applications that use SSI and MSI. It is relatively fast and offers a great variety of standard chips. The active switching element used in all TTL family circuits is the npn bipolar junction transistor (BJT). The transistor is turned on when the base is approximately 0.7 V more positive than the emitter and there is a sufficient amount of base current flowing. The turned on transistor (in non-Schottky subfamilies) is said to TABLE 79.1 Defining Truth Tables for Logic Gates 1-Input Function 2-Input Functions Input Output Inputs Output Functions A NOT A B AND OR NAND NOR XOR XNOR 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 TABLE 79.2 Logic Families and Subfamilies Family and Subfamily Description TTL Transistor-transistor logic 74xx Standard TTL 74Lxx Low-power TTL 74Hxx High-speed TTL 74Sxx Schottky TTL 74LSxx Low-power Schottky TTL 74ASxx Advanced Schottky TTL 74ALSxx Advanced low-power Schottky TTL 74Fxx Fast TTL CMOS Complementary metal-oxide semiconductor 4xxx Standard CMOS 74Cxx Standard CMOS using TTL numbering system 74HCxx High-speed CMOS 74HCTxx High-speed CMOS—TTL compatible 74FCTxx Fast CMOS—TTL compatible 74ACxx Advanced CMOS 74ACTxx Advanced CMOS—TTL compatible 74AHCxx Advanced high-speed CMOS 74AHCTxx Advanced high-speed CMOS-TTL compatible ECL (or CML) Emitter-coupled (current-mode) logic 10xxx Standard ECL 10Hxxx High-speed ECL

Four transistors are used to achieve the inverter function.

This circuit condition will allow Q1 collector current to flow into the base of Q2, saturating Q2 and thereby providing base current into Q3, turning it on also. The collector voltage of Q2 is too low to turn on Q4 so that it appears as an open in the top part of the totem pole the output near ground potential, producing a low output result for a high input into the inverte emitter diode between the two totem-pole transistors provides an extra voltage drop in series with the base-emitter ction of Q4 to ensure that Q4 will be turned off when Q2 is turned on. The saturated Q3 transistor bring When a low logic level is applied to the inverter's input, QIs base-emitter junction will be forward biased and the base-collector junction will be reverse biased. This circuit condition will turn on Q1 so that the collector terminal is shorted to the emitter and, therefore, to ground (low level). This low voltage is also on the base of Q2 and turns Q2 off with Q2 off, there will be insufficient base current into Q3, turning it off also Q2 leakage current is shunted to ground with a resistor to prevent the partial turning on of Q3.

The transistor is turned off when the base is not biased with a high enough voltage (with respect to the emitter).

Four transistors are used to achieve the inverter function. The input to the gate connects to the emitter of transistor Q1, the input coupling transistor. A clamping diode on the input prevents negative input voltage spikes from damaging Q1. The collector voltage (and current) of Q1 controls Q2, the phase splitter transistor.

Q2 is pulled to a high potential with another resistor and, as a result, turns on Q4 so that it appears as a short in the top part of the totem pole. The saturated Q4 transistor provides a low resistance path from Vcc to the output, producing a high output result for a low input into the inverter. A TTL NAND gate is very similar to the inverter circuit, with the exception that the input coupling transistor Q1 is constructed with multiple emitter-base junctions and each input to the NANd is connected to a separate emitter terminal. Any of the transistor's multiple emitters can be used to turn on Q1. The TTL NAND gate thus functions in the same manner as the inverter in that if any of the nand gate inputs are low, the same circuit action will take place as with a low input to the inverter. Therefore, any time a low input is applied to the nand gate it will produce a high ouput. Only if all of the nand gate inputs are simultaneously high will it then produce the same circuit action as the inverter with its single input high, and the resultant output will low. Input coupling transistors with up to eight emitter-base junctions, and therefore, eight input NAND Storage time(the time it takes for the transistor to come out of saturation) is a major factor of propagation lelay for saturated BJT transistors. A long storage time limits the switching speed of a standard TTL circuit The propagation delay can be decreased and, therefore, the switching speed can be increased, by placing a hottky diode between the base and collector of each transistor that might saturate. The resulting Schottky clamped transistors do not go into saturation(effectively eliminating storage time)since the diode shunts current from the base into the collector before the transistor can achieve saturation. Today, digital circuit designs plemented with TTL logic almost exclusively use one of the Schottky subfamilies to take advantage of the significant improvement in switching speed CMOS Logic Family The active switching element used in all CMOS family circuits is the metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor(MOSFET). CMOS stands for complementary MOS transistors and refers to the use of both type of MOSFET transistors, n-channel and p-channel, in the design of this type of switching circuit. While the physical construction and the internal physics of a MOSFET are quite different from that of the Bjt, the circuit switching action of the two transistor types is quite similar. The MOSFET switch is essentially turned off and has a very high channel resistance by applying the same potential to the gate terminal as the source. An n- channel MOSFEt is turned on and has a very low channel resistance when a high voltage with respect to the ource is applied to the gate. A p-channel MOSFET operates in the same fashion but with opposite polarities; the gate must be more negative than the source to turn on the transistor. a block diagram and schematic for a CMOS inverter circuit is shown in Fig. 79. 2. Note that it is a simpl and much more compact circuit design than that for the TTL inverter. That fact is a major reason why MOSFET integrated circuits have a much higher circuit density than B]T integrated circuits and is one advantage that MOSFET ICs have over BJT ICs. As a result, CMOS is used in all levels of integration, from SSI through VLSI (very large scale integration) When a high logic level is applied to the inverter's input, the p-channel MOSFET QI will be turned off and the n-channel MOSFET Q2 will be turned on. This will cause the output to be shorted to ground through the low resistance path of Q2s channel. The turned off Q1 has a very high channel resistance and acts nearly like an open. When a low logic level is applied to the inverter's input, the p-channel MOSFET Q1 will be turned on and nannel MOSFET Q2 will be turned off. This will cause the output to be shorted to Vpp through the low resistance path of Q1's channel. The turned off Q2 has a very high channel resistance and acts nearly like an open CMOS NAND gates are constructed by paralleling P-channel MOSFETs, one for each input, and putting ries an n-channel MOSFET for each input, as shown in the block diagram and schematic of Fig. 79.3. The nAnd gate will produce a low output only when both Q3 and Q4 are turned on, creating a low resistance path from the output to ground through the two series channels. This can be accomplished by having a high on both input A and input B. This input condition will also turn off Q1 and Q2. If either input A or input B or both is low, the respective parallel MOSFET will be turned on, providing a low resistance path for the output to Vop This will also turn off at least one of the series MOSFETs, resulting in a high resistance path for the output to ground. e 2000 by CRC Press LLC

The basic circuit found in the ECL family is the differential amplifier. One side of the differential amplifier is controlled by a bias circuit and the other is controlled by the logic inputs to the gate. This logic family is also referred to as current-mode logic (CML) because of its current switching operation. Logic Family Circuit Parameters Digital circuits and systems operate with only two states, logic 1 and 0, usually represented by two different voltage levels, a high and a low. The two logic levels actually consist of a range of values with the numerical quantities dependent upon the specific family that is used. Minimum high logic levels and maximum low logic levels are established by specifications for each family. Minimum device output levels for a logic high are called VOH(min) and minimum input levels are called VIH(min). The abbreviations for maximum output and input low logic levels are VOL(max) and VIL(max), respectively. Figure 79.4 shows the relationships between these parameters. Logic voltage level parameters are illustrated for selected prominent logic subfamilies in Table 79.3. As seen in this illustration, there are many operational incompatibilities between major logic family types. Noise margin is a quantitative measure of a device’s noise immunity. High-level noise margin (VNH) and low-level noise margin (VNL) are defined in Eqs. (79.1) and (79.2). FIGURE 79.4 Switching device logic levels.

Thus, CMOS fan-out depends on the frequency of switching. With fewer(capacitive)loading inputs to drive, the maximum switching frequency of cMos devices will increase The switching speed of logic devices is dependent on the device's propagation delay time. The propagation delay of a logic device limits the frequency at which it can be operated. There are two propagation delay times specified for logic gates: tpHL, delay time for the output to change from high to low, and tPLH, delay time for the output to change from low to high. Average typical propagation delay times for a single gate are listed for several logic subfamilies in Table 79.5. The ECL family has the fastest switching speed. The amount of power required by an IC is normally specified in terms of the amount of current Icc (TTL family), IpD(CMOS family), or IEE(ECL family) drawn from the power supply For complex IC devices, the quired supply current is given under specified test conditions For Ttl chips containing simple gates, the average power dissipation Pp(ave) is normally calculated from two measurements, IccH(when all gate outputs high)and Icc (when all gate outputs are low). Table 79.5 compares the static power dissipation of several logic subfamilies. The ECL family has the highest power dissipation, while the lowest is attained with the CMOS family. It should be noted that power dissipation for the CMOS family is directly proportional to the gate input ignal frequency. For example, one would typically find that the power dissipation for a CMOS logic circuit would increase by a factor of 100 if the input signal frequency is increased from 1 kHz to 100 kHz The speed-power product is a relative figure of merit that is calculated by the formula given in Eq. (79. 3) This performance measurement is normally expressed in picojoules(pD) Speed-power product =(tPHL tPLH )/2 X Pp(ave) (79.3) A low value of speed-power product is desirable to implement high-speed(and, therefore, low propagation lelay time) switching devices that consume low amounts of power. Because of the nature of transistor switching circuits, it is difficult to attain high-speed switching with low power dissipation. The continued development f new IC logic families and subfamilies is largely due to the trade-offs between these two device switching parameters. The speed-power product for various subfamilies is also compared in Table 79.5.

© 2000 by CRC Press LLC used to interface the circuits together if these voltage requirements are not met. Of course, a driving circuit’s output must not exceed the maximum and minimum allowable input voltages for the driven circuit. Also, the current sinking and sourcing ability of the driver circuit’s output must be greater than the total current requirements for the loading circuit. Buffer gates or stages must be used if current requirements are not satisfied. All chips within a single logic family are designed to be compatible with other chips in the same family. Mixing chips from multiple subfamilies together within a single digital circuit can have adverse effects on the overall circuit’s switching speed and noise immunity. Defining Terms Fan-out: The specification used to identify the limit to the number of loading inputs that can be reliably driven by a driving device’s output. Logic level: The high or low value of a voltage variable that is assigned to be a 1 or a 0 state. Noise immunity: A logic device’s ability to tolerate input voltage fluctuation caused by noise without changing its output state. Propagation delay time: The time delay from when the input logic level to a device is changed until the resultant output change is produced by that device. Speed-power product: An overall performance measurement that is used to compare the various logic families and subfamilies. Truth table: A listing of the relationship of a circuit’s output that is produced for various combinations of logic levels at the inputs.
