I stand corrected. On reflection, I seem to remember a lower supply voltage
on the RTL, although 3.6 doesn't ring a bell. Do remember that it was very
temperamental logic family. Used to get lots of catastrophic failures on the
DMM product range (which I believe SD acquired from Fairchild).

DTL had essentially the same specs as TTL.  It was an evolutionary step.

RTL was a strange beast, and ran off of 3.6V.  There is no inherent reason
that there couldn't have been multiple families that used different
supplies,
but I only remember the 3.6V variety.
