The following diode logic gates work in both active-high or active-low logic, however the logical function they implement is different depending on what voltage level is considered active. Switching between active-high and active-low is commonly used to achieve a more efficient logic design.
Diode–transistor logic (DTL) is a class of digital circuits that is the direct ancestor of transistor–transistor logic. It is called so because the logic gating functions AND and OR are performed by diode logic , while logical inversion (NOT) and amplification (providing signal restoration) is performed by a transistor (in contrast with ...

The wired AND connection is a form of AND gate.When using open collector or similar outputs (which can be identified by the ⎐ symbol in schematics), wired AND only requires a pull up resistor on the shared output wire.
CTDL has two sets of logic level definitions: one for positive logic and the other for negative logic. There are both NPN (-6 to +6 supply, in+ out- logic) and PNP (-12 to 0 supply, in- out+ logic) flavors for gates. See page 84, 'CTDL - TWO WAY "AND" PNP'. The input logic levels are different than the output logic levels.
A standard cell normally represents a single logic gate, a diode or simple logic components such as flip-flops, or logic gates with multiple inputs. [6] The use of standard cells allows the chip's design to be split into logical and physical levels.
Diode logic: DL: Tunnel diode logic: TDL: Exactly the same as diode logic but can perform at a higher speed. [failed verification] Neon logic: NL: Uses neon bulbs or 3-element neon trigger tubes to perform logic. Core diode logic: CDL: Performed by semiconductor diodes and small ferrite toroidal cores for moderate speed and moderate power level ...
A level shifter connects one digital circuit that uses one logic level to another digital circuit that uses another logic level. Often two level shifters are used, one at each system: A line driver converts from internal logic levels to standard interface line levels; a line receiver converts from interface levels to internal voltage levels.
A family of diode logic and diode–transistor logic integrated circuits was developed by Texas Instruments for the D-37C Minuteman II Guidance Computer in 1962, but these devices were not available to the public. A variant of DTL called "high-threshold logic" incorporated Zener diodes to create a large offset between logic 1 and logic 0 ...
