Diode logic gates are not suitable for cascading operation because the pull-down or pull-up resistance within makes them a high output resistance device.
<h3>What is a cascading operation?</h3>
A cascading operation can be defined as a process which involves the use of a circuit breaker's current-limiting capacity in order to enable an installation of lower-rated and lower-cost circuit breakers.
According to the National Electrical Code (NEC), diode logic gates are not suitable for cascading operation because the pull-down or pull-up resistance within makes them a high output resistance device.
