Noise margin is a meaningful means for measuring the robustness of a
Undefined Region
High State DC Noise Margin: NMH = VOH - VIH Low State DC Noise Margin: NML = VIL - VOL

Current: Very little current flows in the gate except while
Static Power: Steady state or static power consumption

Treat transistor as a resistor In reality, there are several resistances Also, resistance values are different in different modes of
Logic Gates and Electrical Properties 14
Dynamic Power: A CMOS circuit consumes significant power only
where, CL = Cload + gate output capacitance + Cwire f = output switching frequency
Short Circuit Power: This is the other component of power

Fanout: The number of inputs that are driven by a single
A practical limit on fanout is caused by load (capacitance, CL) on
Fanin: The number of inputs that a gate can have is called
Higher fanin usually means higher delay (because of transistors in
