Explain the Principle of Operation of MOS Inverter
The source to substrate voltage of nMOS is also called driver for transistor which is grounded; so V SS = 0. The output node is connected with a lumped capacitance used for VTC
The generalized circuit of an nMOS inverter is shown in the figure below. From the above figure, we can see that the input voltage of the inverter is equal to the gate to source voltage of nMOS transistor and output voltage of inverter is equal to drain to source voltage of nMOS transistor.
The source to substrate voltage of nMOS is also called driver for transistor which is grounded; so V SS = 0. The output node is connected with a lumped capacitance used for VTC. The basic structure of a resistive load inverter is shown in the figure given below. Here, enhancement type nMOS acts as the driver transistor.
The output is switched from 0 to V dd when input is less than V th. So, for 0<V in <V th output is equal to logic 0 input and V th <V in < V dd is equal to logic 1 input for inverter.
