Part of the Microprocessors glossary: Transistor-transistor logic (TTL) is a digital logic design in which bipolar transistor s act on direct-current pulses. Many TTL logic gate s are typically fabricated onto a single integrated circuit (IC).
Abbreviation of silicon-controlled rectifier. A semiconductor device with four layers, p-n-p-n, which has an input terminal, or gate, output terminal, or anode, and a terminal common to both called cathode. Used, for instance, as a solid-state switch that turns large amounts of power on and off very quickly. Also called thyristor (2).
