A C-MOS inverter is a crucial building block in digital electronics, serving as the most basic logic gate. It's constructed using complementary pairs of P-type (PMOS) and N-type (NMOS) MOSFETs, which means that when one transistor is ON, the other is OFF, and vice versa. This arrangement allows the inverter to efficiently switch between logic states, converting a high input voltage (logic "1") to a low output voltage (logic "0"), and a low input (logic "0") to a high output (logic "1")
At high frequencies, C-MOS inverters face several limitations that affect their performance and reliability. These restrictions are primarily due to parasitic effects, increased power dissipation, and challenges in maintaining signal integrity
