TTL gates with open-collector
output stages have eliminated R3, Q3 and the diode,
Figure 145.
The collector of Q4 is connected only to the output Y.
In order for open-collector TTL gates to work,
an external pull-up resistor
must be provided (of the order 10 k).
Open-collector TTL gates can be tied together, forming a wired-AND connection, Figure 146. The value at Y is the logical AND of the outputs Y1 and Y2.
