Inverter Delay Time and Power Dissipation

The inverter delay time can be calculated as follows

Fig. 3.a shows inverter delay time as a function of the channel length. It shows that the delay time decreases as the channel length decreases.

The inverter power dissipation can be expressed as follows

Fig. 3.b shows the variation of the inverter power dissipation as a function of supply voltage. The power dissipation decreases as the supply voltage decreases.
