    • 1. The time needed for an output to change from the result of an input change is known as:

    • Options
    • A. noise immunity
    • B. fan-out
    • C. propagation delay
    • D. rise time
    • Discuss
    • 2. What should be done to unused inputs on TTL gates?

    • Options
    • A. They should be left disconnected so as not to produce a load on any of the other circuits and to minimize power loading on the voltage source.
    • B. All unused gates should be connected together and tied to V through a 1 k Ω resistor.
    • C. All unused inputs should be connected to an unused output; this will ensure compatible loading on both the unused inputs and unused outputs.
    • D. Unused AND and NAND inputs should be tied to VCC through a 1 kΩ resistor; unused OR and NOR inputs should be grounded.
