16.21 For a particular inverter, the basic technology used provides an inherent limit to the small-signal, low-frequency voltage gain of 50 V/V. If, with a 1-V supply, the values of VOL and VOH are ideal, but VM = 0.4VDD, what are the best possible values of VIL and VIH that can be expected? What are the best possible noise margins you could expect? Find the large-signal voltage gain, where the gain is defined by (VOH − VOL)/(VIL − VIH). (Hint)
