SUMMARY

The discussion clarifies the meanings of V_i=L and V_i=H in CMOS inverters, where V_i=L corresponds to a logic LOW signal at 0V and V_i=H corresponds to a logic HIGH signal at the supply voltage Vdd. Participants emphasize that the allowable voltage range for these logic levels is contingent upon the supply voltage, highlighting the versatility of CMOS technology in operating across various supply voltages.

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
