Unused TTL inputs should never be left open. Depending on how their logic levels

will affect the operation you want from the device, unused inputs should always

be tied to either the +5v supply (logic 1) or to the circuit ground (logic 0). If an

input is left open ("floating"), then it can assume either logic level, and you literally

never know which state it's in.

What should be done with the unused inputs of a TTL integrated circuit?

Unused ttl inputs would normally default to logic 1 if left floating. but these inputs could act as antennas under certain conditions and they could pick up noise which can cause the circuit to malfunction. it is better to tie unused inputs to Vcc through a 1k resistor (74LS, 74XX etc) or simply return the inputs to ground. for most other ttl families, the 1k resistor might not be required.- Stan (Nigeria)


What is a TTL-compatible output?

Compatibility in TTL means that the output of one TTL device can be used to drive the Input of the other TTL device , This because the low and high output window fit inside the low and high input window/profile TTL stand for Transistor Transistor Logic, so any voltage between 0 and 5 volt is compatible where any voltage between 3V and 5V is logic 1 and zero volt is logic 0


What is a TTL compatible output?

A: TTL gates operates on the premise of having +5 dc on the rail therefore the output will be in the range +5 volts. A cmos gate while similar to a TTL function is not really compatible since the output volts can be 12 volts or more. Besides that TTL gates require some input current for it to operate


Ttl logic family has an output state known as?

true and false


Why an open ttl gate behaves as a logic high input?

because TTL have a bias input setup to eliminate noise therefore the output will follow the logic one input if left open


Why is setting the TTL to a small number a bad Idea?

Because a TTL determines the maximum number of days the server will TTL of 0 means that the resource record should not be cached.


Why do TTl integrated circuits assume unconnected inputs to be at logic?

Unused ttl inputs would normally default to logic 1 if left floating. but these inputs could act as antennas under certain conditions and they could pick up noise which can cause the circuit to malfunction.

How can a ttl output from a receiver be used to switch a transistor on or off?

By choosing the type of transistor to meet your needs carefully. I assume what you're trying to do is feed beyond the ttl output's power capability? a JFET may be a good option. A simple amplifier circuit using a MOSFET may be all you need, and this might be more readily available.

What is active pull up in TTL NAND gate?

All standard TTL devices use a two transistor "totempole" output, one transistor provides an active pull down and the other an active pull up. Only one of these transistors is on at a time and one or the other is always on. Open collector TTL devices omit the active pull up transistor so that several outputs can be "wired" together and an external resistor provides a passive pull up. The only problem with this is the risetime of a passive pullup is much longer than the risetime of an active pull up, making the circuit slower. Tristate TTL devices have the same two transistor "totempole" output as standard TTL devices, but the circuits that control these transistors are more complex allowing a "third state" in which both transistors are turned off, leaving the output of the device floating. This allows many tristate TTL devices to be connected to a single line with only one actually driving it at a time (preventing conflicts with one device pulling up and another pulling down).
