Question 308

Why do CMOS digital integrated circuits have high immunity to noise on the input signal or power supply?

  1. Large bypass capacitance is inherent
  2. The input switching threshold is about twice the power supply voltage
  3. The input switching threshold is about half the power supply voltageCorrect answer
  4. Bandwidth is very limited

Explanation

A CMOS input switches at about half the supply voltage, so noise on the input or on the supply must be nearly half a supply rail before it can flip a gate — a far larger margin than families that switch near a fixed low voltage. A threshold at twice the supply could never be reached, and neither inherent bypassing nor limited bandwidth is the reason.
