This page describes the IBM SMS card "AXP", and is part of the SMS card database.

Function of the card:
SDTDL 3-4, 1-3 way -a-0 w/o load
4-2 way,1-3 way (-a,-o) w/o load

Saturated Drift Transistor Diode Logic (SDTDL) is a form of Diode-transistor logic using faster drift-field transistors.

Part number: 372213

Customer Eng reference number: 734319

Used in: IBM 1311 Disk, IBM 2821 Control Unit

Cap code: None (details)

Symbol: -O, -A

-O: Negative OR. In-phase output is negative if one or more Input signals are negative. Outof-phase output is positive for the above condition.

-A: Negative AND. In-phase output is negative only when all inputs are negative. Out-of-phase output is positive for the above condition.
