Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given: VIL = 0.9V, VOL = 0.4V, VOH = 2.5V, VIH = 1.1V. Calculate NML and NMH and determine if the inverter is robust enough.

💡 Hint: Apply the formulas correctly and analyze the results.

Question 2

A CMOS inverter shows a VTC where VOH = 1.2V, VOL = 0.1V, VIL = 0.6V, and VIH = 0.4V. Discuss the implications of these NML and NMH values on circuit reliability.

💡 Hint: Evaluate how these discrepancies can influence design choices.
