Which of the following is the fastest logic family?

  1. A.

    Emitter-Coupled Logic (ECL)

  2. B.

    Transistor-Transistor Logic (TTL)

  3. C.

    Diode-Transistor Logic (DTL)

  4. D.

    Resistor-Transistor Logic (RTL)

Attempted by 157 students.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Emitter-Coupled Logic (ECL) is the fastest among the given logic families. In ECL, transistors are kept out of saturation, so storage-time delay is avoided and propagation delay is reduced. TTL, DTL, and RTL are slower in comparison. Therefore, the correct answer is Emitter-Coupled Logic (ECL).
