- No, it's not |||
- Most of the memories are designed to be 1 Logical Unit TTL-LS compatible.
- As the input stage of the '332 are CMOS, there's a low current drawn from
- the memory chips ie the outputs of those device are much above the VOHmin
- of 2.4V (somewhere above 4.0). So it works.
- Remember that VOH min is measured when the device sinks 4 mA.

- This works if you use HCMOS devices (eg 74HCxxx for any glue logic) and
- you don't load too much the '332 I/O (say 4-5 max devices). If you use
- 74LS devices, you must add pullups (typ. 10k).
