This is helpful for users who are preparing for their exams, interviews, or professionals who would like to brush up on the fundamentals of DTL. Digital logic circuits such as Transistor-Transistor type Logic have multiple subclasses such as RTL- Resistor Transistor Logic, DTL-Diode Transistor Logic, and BJT. These circuits are designed using logic gates such as AND, NOR, NOT, OR, and XOR. DTL digital logic circuit is designed with logic circuits holding diodes on the source side and transistors on the load side of the circuit. Logic AND gate are mainly used in this circuit. The purpose of DTL circuits is to design and fabricate digital circuits. They can be designed using a number of input logic gates such as two input DTL holding 2 NAND type of logic gate in its circuit and a transistor. The increased fan-in is the advantage of DTL over the earlier resistor-transistor logic. The disadvantage of DTL includes high input voltage, and expensive. 1).
