•When the NOR gate output is HIGH, the output bin behaves as a current source since
IOH flows out of the driver gate and into the set of driven gates. The current IOH equals
the sum of all input currents indicated by IIH, flowing into the driven gates. In other
words, IOH = Sum of IIH.
•When the NOR gate output is LOW, the output bin behaves as a current sink since
IOL flows into the gate and out of the driven gates. The current IOL equals the sum of all
input currents indicated by IIL, flowing

out of the driven gates. In other words,

Ques: 3 Important characteristics of each of IC families
Noise:
Stray electric and magnetic fields can induce voltages on the
connecting wires between logic circuits,These unwanted, spurious
signals are called noise
Noise Immunity:
Circuit’s ability to tolerate noise without causing spurious changes
in the output voltage.
Noise Margin:
Quantitative measure of noise immunity is called Noise Margin.
High-state noise margin : VNH = VOH (min) - VIH (min)
Low-state noise margin : VNL = VIL (max) - VOL (max)

Ques: 3 Important characteristics of each of IC families
Any noise voltage smaller than VOH - VIH will be tolerated and will not
change the output value of the driven gate.
Any noise voltage smaller than VIL - VOL will be tolerated and will not
change the output value of the driven gate.
For TTL:
VNH = 2.7V - 2.0V = 0.7V.
VNL = 0.8V - 0.5V = 0.3V.
For CMOS:
VNH = 4.95V - 3.5V = 1.45V.
VNL = 1.5V - 0.05V = 1.45V.
CMOS can tolerate much more noise than TTL.

After an input to a logic gate changes, when does the output actually change?
