What is the voltage V_out in the following circuit?

0 V
(V_T of PMOS + V_T of NMOS)/2
Switching threshold of inverter
V_DD

Correct answer: Switching threshold of inverter

Solution

The switching threshold of an inverter is the point where the output voltage transitions from high to low, which occurs when the input voltage equals the threshold voltage, making it the correct answer for V_out in this context.
