Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

If the VOH is found to be 1.5V instead of 2V, what would be the potential impacts on the inverter’s noise margins?

💡 Hint: Think about how lower output affects input reliability.

Challenge 2 Hard

Given VIL=0.8V and VOL=0.2V, calculate NML. Discuss what this could mean for circuit robustness.

💡 Hint: Relate NML to overall circuit performance.
