Eventually, silicon arrived, and vacuum tube logic was replaced with diode and transistor logic. This represented a dramatic increase in speed and a great reduction in size and power consumption.

A practical diode switch usually works by maintain one side of the diode at a bias point so that when a logic level is applied to the other point it will switch the diode from forward to reverse ...
