The process to avoid saturating the switching transistor is performed by ___________(a) Baker clamp(b) James R. Biard(c) Chris Brown(d) Totem-PoleThis question was posed to me in an interview for internship.I want to ask this question from Diode-Transistor Logic(DTL) in chapter Logic Families of Digital Circuits

Answer»

The CORRECT choice is (a) Baker clamp

To explain I would SAY: Another WAY to speed up DTL other than ADDING a small “speed-up” capacitor across intermediate resister is to avoid saturating the switching transistor which can be done with a Baker clamp. The name Baker clamp is given at the name of Richard H. Baker, who DESCRIBED it in his 1956 technical report “Maximum Efficiency Switching Circuits”.
