Is regions in cmos dc characteristics based on experimental results? If not help me by explaining how nmos and pmos goes into saturation or linear or cutoff in each regions
In a CMOS inverter (the simplest CMOS circuit) when the input is a logic low (0V) the P-channel MOSFET is full on and the N-channel MOSFET is cutoff, thus the output is a logic one (V+ supply). When the input is high (V+) the N-MOSFET is full on and the P-MOSFET is cut off, thus the output is logic 0 (0V).
