TTL or CMOS?

Are the outputs for the SX chips for TTL or CMOS? I do know you can set the inputs using the level register as either one.

    When talking about TTL and CMOS in regard to I/O pins, you are·really only talking about the input logic threshold values - the values at which a device will see a voltage as 'low' or 'high':

    TTL:·low<1.4V<high
    CMOS:· low<Vdd/2<high


    Output from the SX is as outlined in the Spec sheet is:

    low: (max) 0.6V
    high: (min) Vdd-0.7V

    which you can use to interface with a·CMOS or TTL device equally well.
