Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Correct answer: 0.6 V and 3.5 V

Standard TTL circuits operate with a positive supply, commonly around 5 V. The important output-level idea is that LOW must remain below the TTL low threshold and HIGH must remain above the TTL high threshold.

  • Logic 0 (LOW): a voltage below about 0.8 V is treated as LOW, so 0.6 V is a valid approximate LOW level.

  • Logic 1 (HIGH): a voltage above about 2.2 V is treated as HIGH, and a typical TTL HIGH output is around 3.5 V.

  • Invalid ranges: negative voltages and values in the undefined region between LOW and HIGH thresholds are not suitable TTL output levels.

Final answer: 0.6 V and 3.5 V.
