Abstract
A transistor-transistor logic gate is described which uses a number of bipolar switching transistors clamped in several different ways. In particular to better adapt a bipolar switching transistor to high frequency, high temperature operation, the collectors of the various switching transistors are clamped in a variety of novel ways, each to achieve a collector voltage higher than that normally achieved by the conventional Schottky diode clamp connected between the base and collector.
