What is Noise Margin? Explain the procedure to determine
Noise Margin?

Answer Posted / bhau

In digital logic design the general representation of input
and output are High and low level (1's and 0's). In actual
case when the input signal transitions the output switches
to full swing before the input has reached its full swing.
The minimum signal level to get a out put High or low is
called VIH, VIL (For inversion stage Input for getting full
output low swing and input for getting full output high
swing). For the interoperability of this logic device i.e.
to use tihs output directly to feed into next stage without
level shifting the VIL > VOL, similarly VIH < VOH. In such
condition when logic swing VIL is enough to get full swing
on Output the noise margin will be VOL-VIL. Similarly NM
for signal transitioning high is VOH-VIH.
