SDTDL power latch a
Power latch a
Saturated Drift Transistor Diode Logic (SDTDL) is a form of Diode-transistor logic using faster drift-field transistors.
Part number: 372237
Customer Eng reference number: 734355
PCB number: 484987 , hole pattern: 493499
Used in: IBM 1311 Disk, IBM 1443 Printer
Cap code: None (details)
Symbol: +A, -O, DE, -A
+A: Positive AND. in-phase output is positive only when all inputs are positive. Out-of-phase output is negative for the above condition.
-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.
DE: Driver Emitter Follower. A driver, operating on the emitter follower principle, used for power amplification, impedance matching, and isolation without inversion. Often used as a logical element.
-A: Negative AND. In-phase output is negative only when all inputs are negative. Out-of-phase output is positive for the above condition.
