CMOS inverter

See complementary MOSFETs invert a pulse input while driving a capacitive load.

Semiconductors

Run Transient to compare the input and inverted output.

Open and run

  1. Open Examples from the Home ribbon.
  2. Choose CMOS inverter.
  3. Open Simulate and choose Setup to review the analyses.
  4. Choose Run for one analysis or Run All for the complete configured set.
  5. Select a matching Scope view after the run. Use Save as sheet to keep the example or Discard to close it.
