CMOS Inverter DC Characteristics Guide

The document discusses the DC characteristics and transfer characteristics of a CMOS inverter, detailing the relationship between input voltage (Vin), output voltage (Vout), and current (Ids) for NMOS and PMOS transistors in series. It highlights key points in the inverter's operation, indicating that digital circuits typically operate between points A and F with zero static power dissipation. The inverter's behavior is characterized by specific Idssat conditions for varying Vin values.

A 0 5 0 Digital Circuits operates between points
#A, and #F most of the times, hence
B 1 Close to 5 NMOS: Idssat (Vin=1V, Vgs =1 V)
ideally the static (steady state) power
C 2 Close to 5 NMOS: Idssat (Vin=2V, Vgs = 2 V) dissipation is ZERO as current in the circuit
is ZERO.
