SUMMARY

The discussion clarifies the meanings of $V_i=L$ and $V_i=H$ in CMOS inverters. Specifically, $V_i=L$ indicates that the input voltage is approximately at ground level, while $V_i=H$ signifies that the input voltage is close to the supply voltage, $V_{dd}$. This distinction is crucial for understanding the operation of CMOS inverters, which function as logical NOT gates using complementary MOS technology.
