RTL
1. Abbrev. for resistor-transistor logic. An early logic family, usually produced in integrated-circuit form, whose principal component parts consist of integrated resistors and bipolar transistors. Despite its low power dissipation, RTL is now little used since it has a relatively slow switching speed and small fan-out.

2. Abbrev. for register transfer language.
