There are some things that Integrated Circuits cannot do (Dis.) e Integrated circuits can not handle very large currents or voltages (because the heat generated in such small spaces would cause temperatures to rise beyond acceptable limits) e Integrated circuits can not easily implement certain electrical devices such as inductors, transformers, and large capacitors For these reason e Integrated circuits are principally used to perform low-power circuit operations that are commonly called information processing Various Logic Families e Bipolar transistors : TTL and ECL e Unipolar MOSFET transistors : NMOS, PMOS, and CMOS @\n this chapter “We will present the important characteristics of each of IC families @ Current and Voltage Parameters : *Viy (min) : high- level input voltage “Vi, (max) : low- level input voltage “Voy (min) : high- level output voltage “Vo, (max) : low- level output voltage “liq: high- level input current “el. : low- level input current “logy : high- level output current “lg. : low- level output current ' Fan-Out( = Loading Factor ) “maximum number of standard logic inputs that an output can drive reliably -Fan-Out = 10 : one logic gate can drive 10 standard logic inputs Propagation Delays : (INVERTER) ® te,,- delay going from LOW to HIGH © te, “delay going from HIGH to LOW = Itis measured between the 50 percent points on the input and output transitions. In some logic circuits, ta, and tp_4 are not the same value, and both will vary depending on capacitive loading conditions. The values of propagation times are used as a measure of the relative speed of logic circuits. A logic circuit with values of 10 ns is a faster logic circuit than one with values of 20 ns under specified load conditions.
