    • 2. The term buffer/driver signifies the ability to provide low output currents to drive light loads.

    • Options
    • A. True
    • B. False
    • Discuss
    • 3. Why are the maximum value of VOL and the minimum value of VOH used to determine the noise margin rather than the typical values for these parameters?

    • Options
    • A. These are worst-case conditions.
    • B. These are normal conditions.
    • C. These are best-case conditions.
    • D. It doesn't matter what values are used.

    • 4. 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
    • 5. 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.
    • Discuss
    • 6. What is the advantage of using low-power Schottky (LS) over standard TTL logic?

    • Options
