The new logic family includes a NOR gate constructed using only diodes, resistors, and inductors. The key design feature of these gates is a single diode to switch an RF power supply on and off.

Not to disparage “LTSpice model of a NAND gate implemented with 555 and diodes”, but “that” NAND only needed the diodes, a transistor, and 2 or 3 resistors aka RTL logic.
