9.2.7For the DTL gate shown in Figure P9.2.6, as-
sume ideal diodes,VT = 0 .7V,Vsat = 0 .2V,
RB=10 k, RC= 500 , andVCC=5 V. As-
sumingβ=20 for the BJT and using reasonable
approximations, sketch the outputVofor the input
signals of Figure P9.2.7.
*9.2.8A gate using resistor-transistor logic (RTL) is
shown in Figure P9.2.8. Justify that this gate per-
forms the NOR function.
9.2.9Study the DTL gate circuit shown in Figure P9.2.9
and state whether it behaves like a NOR gate or a
NAND gate.
