3. Why are the maximum value of
V
OL
and the minimum value of
V
OH
used to determine the noise margin rather than the typical values for these parameters?

Correct Answer: propagation delay
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
V
CC
through a 1 kΩ resistor; unused OR and NOR inputs should be grounded.
