We will look at noise margins in greater depth soon. Pullups pull the voltage up towards more positive values, and pulldowns pull the voltage down towards more negative values. Pullup to pulldown ratio for an nmos inverter driven through 1 or more pass transistors it is often the case that two inverters are connected via a series of switches pass transistors we are concerned that connection of transistors in series will degrade the logic levels into inverter 2. Why do we always use pmos as a pull up and nmos as a pull. Pemosfets have a negative threshold to turn on, so putting them in the pullup role means that they will conduct when their gate voltage drops, and vice versa for nemosfets. You basically just make sure that the pulldown isnt so strong low value that when the logic state changes the voltage goes high enough, or the opposite with a pullup, make sure the logic channel that has to pull that pullup to ground will be able to sink enough of the current for the voltage to drop to acceptable levels.
