Hi all,
i've a question on basic CMOS inverter. if we swap the nmos and pmos in the inverter and connect VDD directly to nmos and VSS to pmos, will it still function as an inverter ? i read somewhere that it ll still function, but, will produce, weak 1 and weak 0. could someone confirm this ?
1.P -strong '1', weak '0' reason -not complete discharge of output capacitance load thereby weak '0'.(derived from vdd equations)
n - stron '0' , weak '1' reason - not complete charging of output capacitance load thereby weak '1'.
so when the positions are interchanged :
1.static loss increased : the inverter does not give a '0' output even if input is not driven,bcoz of conducting path between vdd and ground rails.Hence static losses even if 'off' condition.
