Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A CMOS inverter shows an NML of 0.5V and an NMH of 0.3V. What are the implications for its robustness in noisy environments?

💡 Hint: Reflect on how different noise margins affect circuit behavior.

Challenge 2 Hard

If both nMOS and pMOS components of an inverter are increased in size, what is the expected shift in the VTC? How does this affect noise margins?

💡 Hint: Analyze the balance between increases for design!
