Circuit 3: Simple RTL Inverter

The following file determines the dc transfer curve and the transient pulse response of a simple RTL inverter. RTL was an early logic family which died out in the early 1970's. We could not think of anything more archaic, as WRspice does not contain a vacuum tube model.

The input is a pulse from 0 to 5 Volts with delay, rise, and fall times of 2ns and a pulse width of 30ns. The transient interval is 0 to 100ns, with printing to be done every nanosecond.
