AI Thread Summary
In CMOS inverters, V_i=L represents a logic LOW signal, typically at 0 volts, while V_i=H signifies a logic HIGH signal, usually at the supply voltage (Vdd). The allowable voltage levels for these signals depend on the supply voltage used in the circuit. CMOS technology is capable of operating across a broad range of supply voltages, which influences these logic levels. Understanding these definitions is crucial for analyzing CMOS inverter behavior. This knowledge is essential for effective circuit design and implementation.

Hello.
Can someone explain to me what does ##V_i=L## and ##V_i=H## mean in CMOS inverters?

Does Vin equals a logic LOW signal, and Vin equals a logic HIGH signal, fit the context? The allowable voltage range of each level is dependent on the supply voltage. Remember that CMOS can operate over a wide range of supply voltages.

I just found the answer! Yes you are right. Vin = L= 0v and Vin=H=Vdd
