Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: TTL
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
Digital ICs are built using different device technologies. Two major families historically are TTL and CMOS. Knowing which devices they are based on helps predict speed, power, and interface behavior.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
TTL uses multiple-emitter BJTs and associated structures to implement logic gates. CMOS uses complementary MOSFET pairs (pMOS and nMOS). Therefore, if asked which logic family is composed of BJTs, the correct choice is TTL.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Match family names to device types: TTL → BJTs, CMOS → MOSFETs.Exclude non-families: DIP is a packaging form factor, not technology.Select TTL as the BJT-based family.
Verification / Alternative check:
Any TTL datasheet (74xx series) shows bipolar transistor schematics; classic 74LS, 74H, 74F families are all bipolar implementations.
