SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the implications of using an nMOSFET in the pull-up circuit and a pMOSFET in the pull-down circuit of an inverter. This configuration can lead to incorrect output voltage levels and potentially damage the inverter's functionality. The participants emphasize the need for circuit reconfiguration to achieve the desired behavior and characteristics of the inverter. Proper understanding of MOSFET configurations is essential for analyzing the inverter's performance.

Hello.
What would happen if there's a mistake in the pull up circuit where nMOSFET is used in the pull up circuit while the pMOSFET is used in the pull down circuit?
What would happen to the action of the inverter, output voltage range and characteristics?
I have been trying to find some clues in my textbook but I don't get it.

That combination is possible if the circuit is reconfigured. Post the circuit you're wondering about and we can help you determine how it would behave.
