  • Q1. IV characterstics of CMOS inverter
  • Ans. 

    IV characteristics of CMOS inverter show the relationship between input voltage and output current.

    • CMOS inverter has two transistors - NMOS and PMOS connected in series.

    • For low input voltage, NMOS is ON and PMOS is OFF, resulting in low output voltage.

    • For high input voltage, NMOS is OFF and PMOS is ON, resulting in high output voltage.

    • The transition between low and high output voltage occurs at the threshold voltage.

  • Q2. Set up and hold time explain
  • Ans. 

    Set up time and hold time are timing requirements in digital circuits to ensure proper operation.

    • Set up time is the minimum time before the clock edge that the input signal must be stable.

    • Hold time is the minimum time after the clock edge that the input signal must be maintained stable.

    • Violating set up time can lead to incorrect data being latched.

    • Violating hold time can lead to metastability issues.
