OBJECTIVES

• On completion of this period, you would

be able to

• Know the interfacing between logic families

CM-305.29 2
 Recap
• Tri state Buffers

CM-305.29 3
• The word ‘INTERFACE’ refers to the way of a driving

device is connected to a loading device.

• Taking advantages of the superior characteristics of each

logic family , devices from more than one logic family can

be used for different parts of the digital system.

• With this optimum performance can be achieved in a

digital system.
CM-305.29 4
• For example, CMOS logic IC’s can be used where

high speed is not required there by reducing power

requirements.
• TTL IC’s can be used in those parts of the system

which require high speed of operation.

• Therefore it is necessary to know the interface

between TTL & CMOS devices.

CM-305.29 5
• CMOS IC can be operated for supply voltage range

of 3-15V.

• The supply voltage for TTL IC is 5V.

• Therefore in order to interface a TTL to a CMOS,

ones approach is to use +5V supply voltage for both

TTL & CMOS by using a pull-up resistor as shown.

• The pull-up resistor has no effect on the low state but

it rises the high state CM-305.29

to approximately +5V. 7
• The second approach is to use different supply

voltages for TTL & CMOS.

• CMOS logic IC’s can be used where high speed is
not

required there by reducing power requirements.

• Therefore it is necessary to know the interface
