Comparison between TTL and CMOS technology:
TTL | CMOS |
---|---|
TTL stands for Transistor-Transistor Logic. The name is derived from the use of two Bipolar Junction Transistors or BJTs in the design of each logic gate. | CMOS stands for Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor. |
TTL is a classification of integrated circuits. | CMOS is another classification of ICs that uses field effect transistors in the design. |
The density of logic gates is less in TTL as compared to CMOS. | The primary advantage of CMOS chips to TTL chips is in the greater density of logic gates within the same material. |
A single gate on a TTL chip can consume around 10mW of power. | An equivalent single gate in a CMOS chip can consume around 10nW. |
TTL chips are lesser delicate and is not very suseptible to electrostatic discharge. | CMOS chips are a bit more delicate compared to TTL chips when it comes to handling as it is quite susceptible to electrostatic discharge. |
TTL chips do not have CMOS logic. | There are CMOS chips that have TTL logic and are meant as replacements for TTL chips. |
A logic gate in a TTL chip can consist of a substantial number of parts as extra components like resistors are needed. | A single logic gate in a CMOS chip can consist of as little as two Field Effect Transistors. |
TTL circuits consumes more power compared to CMOS circuits at rest. | CMOS circuits comsumes less power at rest. |
