Slide 1: RTL NAND Gate (Title Slide)

Script:
Hello everyone, my name is Tanim Ahmed.
Today, I will talk about the RTL NAND Gate – a type of logic gate made using
resistors and a transistor.
It is simple, but it played an important role in early digital electronics.

Slide 2: Introduction to RTL NAND Gate


Script:
Let’s begin with a short introduction.
RTL stands for Resistor-Transistor Logic.
This type of logic circuit uses resistors to pass signals and a transistor to control
the output.
NAND means "Not AND" – it gives LOW output only when all inputs are HIGH.
RTL NAND gates were used in old computers to perform logic operations.

Slide 3: Circuit Diagram

Script:
This is how a simple RTL NAND circuit looks.
• Two inputs go through resistors.
• These connect to the base of a transistor.
• The transistor's collector is connected to power through a resistor, and the
output is taken from here.
If both inputs are HIGH, the transistor turns ON and the output becomes
LOW.
If one or both inputs are LOW, the output is HIGH.
Slide 4: Operation & Truth Table
Script:
Now let's understand how it works.
If both inputs (A and B) are HIGH, the transistor turns ON and the output
becomes LOW.
But if either A or B is LOW, the transistor stays OFF and the output is HIGH.
This is shown clearly in the truth table.

A B Output

001

011

101

110

So the RTL NAND gate gives LOW only when both inputs are HIGH.

Slide 5: Advantages and Disadvantages


Script:
Now let’s see the pros and cons.
Advantages:
• Very easy to build
• Uses few components
• Good for learning logic gates
Disadvantages:
• Slow speed because of resistor delay
• Wastes power – resistors always draw current
• Not good for noisy environments
• Hard to use in big circuits
That’s why it’s not used in modern computers anymore.

Slide 6: Usage & Conclusion


Script:
Even though RTL NAND gates are not common today, they are still useful in
education.
They were very important in the early days of digital electronics.
Now, we use better technologies like TTL and CMOS, which are faster and use less
power.
But understanding RTL NAND gates helps us learn the basics of digital logic.
Thank you for listening!
