To understand the analysis and design of digital circuits, we will look at its fundamental element -- the digital gate. We will start with the simplest digital gate, the inverter.

The Inverter Voltage Transfer Characteristics (VTC)
The functionality of the inverter can be captured by looking at the output voltage as we change the input voltage, or the voltage-transfer characteristic (VTC).
