Talk:Resistor–transistor logic

message: Resistor-Transistor Logic may well have been the earliest form of transistorized digital logic, but most people tend to associate the term "RTL" with integrated circuits, and the first family of digital integrated circuits was Motorola's MECL family, introduced in 1962.
The fan-in limitation described is specific to RTL integrated circuits; the fan-in of discrete RTL circuits varies widely depending on the specific components used.

thread_title:  first digital logic 

message: It should be emphisized that the diagram is a "Simplified schematic" and does not actually work.  Someone should be able to find a "published" schematic that actually works.  I can only provide a design similar to those used in early computer designs.  I would hate to think that some future engineer would try to build the circuit as shown and find that he wasted his time.

replies: text: Actually it's no simpler than a correct one, so I replaced it, using the NPN version of the circuits in the sources I mentioned above, which is exactly what's in the cited GE Transistor Manual. Dicklyon (talk) 03:46, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

text: I had fixed that last night, but failed to complete my edit.  Now it's done; the circuit is exactly as you say, as in all the refs. Dicklyon (talk) 15:53, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

text: Are you still seeing the old picture, or is it not obvious that "V-" is intended to represent a negative supply?  I didn't modify the image above, but made a new version, calling it a NOR instead of NAND, for the more usual polarity interpretation. Dicklyon (talk) 02:44, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Dicklyon, I have no any connection with this source. I realize that it is not so reputable but it is the only source giving good intuitive RTL explanations, considerations and some calculations. This was the reason for including the link.

thread_title:  About the link to play-hooky.com 

message: I propose creating an article for RCTL for reasons of consistency. Information about RCTL is already part of this article under the section called "Speeding up RTL". I looked at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logic_family and I noticed that most subclasses of circuits are linked to specific articles (aside from RCTL which points to RTL and therefore it's inconsistent).

message: I think it would be better to use the ASCII hyphen "-" (0x2d) instead of the Em Dash "–" (U+2013 ie. 0xe28093) in the page title.
This would make links to this page look cleaner, ie.  instead of the current
