Her models shine in troubleshooting:
| Symptom | According to Romanis’ Model | Likely Cause | |--------|----------------------------|---------------| | Output stuck ~1.5V | Totem-pole shoot-through | Stuck input at 0.8-1.2V | | Input current too high (>3mA) | Multi-emitter base resistor shorted | ESD damage to input | | Output LOW but >0.8V | Saturation failure of pull-down transistor | Overloaded output (too many fans) | | Floating input reads LOW | Wrong – should read HIGH | Missing pull-up resistor on base of multi-emitter | Tweet: The Y2K internet era was unmatched
She also provides a rule of thumb: If you measure 0V on a TTL input, the driving gate must sink 1.6mA. If it cannot (e.g., damaged open-collector), the input will drift into the transition region. While practical, Romanis’ models face three critiques:
