Additional Definitions
There is some contention with respect to applying the broader term "OTL" to capacitively coupled designs and variants. The need to delineate these designs from their directly coupled counterparts has led to the informal adoption of several additional terms, including:
- OCL (output capacitorless) - which distinguishes OTL designs lacking an output coupling capacitor (directly coupled)
- DC-OTL - which denotes a directly coupled design; synonymous with OCL
- AC-OTL - which denotes an AC (capacitively) coupled design
- Z-OTL - which denotes a small class of variants

Famous quotes containing the words additional and/or definitions:
“Dog. A kind of additional or subsidiary Deity designed to catch the overflow and surplus of the world’s worship.”
—Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
“The loosening, for some people, of rigid role definitions for men and women has shown that dads can be great at calming babies—if they take the time and make the effort to learn how. It’s that time and effort that not only teaches the dad how to calm the babies, but also turns him into a parent, just as the time and effort the mother puts into the babies turns her into a parent.”
—Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)
