Refer to the figure given below. What type of device is shown and what input levels are required to turn the LED off?

A:
The device is an open-collector AND gate and requires both inputs to be HIGH in order to turn the LED off.
B:
The device is a Schottky AND gate and requires only one low input to turn the LED off.
C:
The device is an open-collector AND gate and requires only one low input to turn the LED off.
D:
The device is a Schottky open-collector AND gate and requires a low on both inputs to turn the LED off.

What is unique about TTL devices such as the 74S00?
A:
The gate transistors are silicon (S), and the gates therefore have lower values of leakage current.
B:
The S denotes the fact that a single gate is present in the IC rather than the usual package of 2–6 gates.
C:
The S denotes a slow version of the device, which is a consequence of its higher power rating.
D:
The devices use Schottky transistors and diodes to prevent them from going into saturation; this results in faster turn on and turn off times, which translates into higher frequency operation.
