A: TTL Vcc is fixed at 5v +/- .5 volts while MOS can be run at higher Vcc like 12 volts therefore there is a compatibility problem and a converter must be installed between this family of gates to make them compatible with each other. So a converter will do just that translate a TTL level to a MOS level
Whwn an IC is connected to a PC, then the voltage levels of these two should be synchronized. For this purpose, the TTL voltage level is converted to RS 232 level. RS 232 is the interface between a PC and an IC.
TTL is preferred in n-mos technology because it produces more heat and thus it's preferable in microcontroller circuit but c-mos does not produce waste heat which is why TTL is not preferred in c-mos.
TTL stands for Transistor-Transistor-Logic. N-MOS is a type of a metal oxide semiconductor technology. TTL is faster, but generally uses more power. MOS based devices are slower, they and they use less power. Speed is an issue when dealing with high speed data processing.
Yes, a TTL chip can drive a CMOS chip but it may require level shifting to ensure compatibility due to differences in voltage thresholds between the two technologies. TTL operates at 5V logic levels while CMOS operates at lower voltage levels like 3.3V or 1.8V. Level shifters can be used to bridge this gap and allow the TTL chip to communicate with the CMOS chip effectively.
Standard TTL (which stands for Transistor-Transistor Logic) circuits operate on a 5V power supply. The typical level for a logical "0" is between 0V and 0.8V, and the typical level for a logal "1" is somewhere between 2.2V and 5V. Typically, a value little lower than Vcc (power source voltage) is used; in case of a 5V supply, this is usually around 4.5V, but TTL devices are built to withstand full Vcc as input, just in case.
Historically, transistor-transistor logic (TTL) voltage levels have been 5.0 volts, with a high being any voltage above about 3.5 volts and a low being any voltage below about 1.5 volts, with lots of variations on the high/low cutoffs from part to part. Since about 2001, however, most processors have been using low-voltage TTL (LVTTL), which has a nominal voltage of 3.3 volts (approx >2.2 volts for high and approx < 1.2 volts for low). Hence, many parts advertised as "TTL" today actually work at 3.3 volts rather than 5.0 volts.
In Transistor-Transistor Logic (TTL), a logic level of 0 is typically represented by a voltage range of 0 to 0.8 volts, while a logic level of 1 is represented by a voltage range of 2 to 5 volts. This means that any voltage below 0.8 volts is considered a logical '0', and any voltage above 2 volts is considered a logical '1'. The region between these values is considered undefined.

The biggest difference is the types of transistors used: TTL (transistor transistor logic) uses bipolar junction transistors, MOS (metal oxide semiconductor) uses metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors.For a very long time TTL operated at much higher speeds than MOS logic, but also used much more power. However several improvements in MOS over time eventually allowed it to operate at higher speeds than TTL could do without consuming so much power that it could not be properly cooled.The actual circuits used to construct logic gates is very different, but these details cannot be addressed on this site.
TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) high noise range refers to the voltage levels that are considered acceptable for a logic high state in TTL circuits. Typically, for standard TTL, a voltage above 2.0 volts is interpreted as a logical high, while voltages below this may be seen as low. The high noise margin is the difference between the minimum high input voltage (2.0V) and the maximum output low voltage (0.8V), resulting in a noise margin that ensures reliable operation despite voltage fluctuations. This margin helps prevent false triggering in digital circuits.
The maximum supply voltage per the data sheet is 5.25 volts. This is a common max for TTL type IC's.
RS-232 is a standard built a longer while ago, and its specifications dictate a maximum voltage of +-25V. HIGH signal levels at +-5V, +-12V and +-15V are not uncommon. The range of operation is from -25V to +25V. Also, RS-232 standard notes that levels between -3V and +3V are illegal (as in, they are assumed not to exist, nor carry any information). On the other hand, TTL stands for Transistor-Transistor Logic, and the maximum rating for that is 5V. HIGH signal levels are at any point above 3.5V. The range of operation is between 0V and 5V. If one were to connect these with no conversion, the TTL device would probably be burned. Even if it would withstand, the designs are sufficiently different for them not to communicate properly. Thus, the need to 'bridge the gap' between the two.
