Function of the card:
SDTRL-Standard Cable Driver
Simplex interface driver
Quad Line Driver
Saturated Drift Transistor Resistor Logic (SDTRL) is a form of resistor-transistor logic using faster drift-field transistors.
Part number:371987
PCB number:493259
Used in:IBM 1620,IBM 1414 I/O Synchronizer,IBM 1311 Disk,IBM 1410
Symbol:DL, D
DL: Driver, Line. Used to couple information between two widely separated points by means of coaxial line.
D: Driver. Isolates a signal from its generating source and uses it to drive one or more other circuits without affecting or overloading the generating circuits. Can be used to supply the required power directly or only to activate the circuit through which power is actually supplied.
Transistor type:045/101
