| TTL |
Abbreviation for Transistor Transistor Logic. This type of logic is used in digital logic ICs that consist mainly of transistors. Although this type of IC has been the principal type since the advent of semiconductors, CMOS ICs are now becoming the principal type. However, TTL ICs are still the solid leader at the I/O level. |

| TTL load |
This is a load circuit which is connected to output and has a TTL structure. The high/low threshold value is 1.4 V.

| Temperature compensated crystal oscillator |
This crystal oscillator, called TXCO for short, includes a function for compensating the frequency variation according to the crystal oscillator's temperature. Generally, AT crystal devices have relatively better temperature characteristics. In order to obtain more stable frequencies, the temperature variation is compensated based on signals sent from a temperature sensor. There are two frequency compensation methods: an analog compensation method and a digital compensation method. Epson Toyocom markets the TG Series of temperature compensated crystal oscillators.

| Temperature sensing crystal |
This refers to a crystal device used for measuring temperature. It exploits typical characteristics of a crystal device, where oscillation frequency changes according to the temperature change. Epson Toyocom offers the HTS-206 as a temperature sensing crystal.

| Thickness shear vibration |
This is a vibration mode in crystal units. As shown in the drawings at right, in this vibration mode the top and bottom surfaces along the crystal plate's thickness direction move opposite to each other. This mode is used in high-frequency crystal units such as AT crystal units. The frequency f is a function of the crystal chip's thickness T. For the fundamental frequency, f = k/T (k: constant)

| Tuning fork crystal unit |
This type of crystal unit uses a tuning fork-shaped crystal chip. Its advantages including being suited for relatively low frequencies and being compact with a vibration plate that can be separated from its supports. See "flexure vibration" for description of the vibration mode.
