Fig. 2: Rate function of the CMOS memory.

a Rate function Iss(x) for different values of the powering voltage Vdd. We also compare Iss(x) with the linear response approximation obtained from Eq. (23) for Vdd = 1.2. b Illustration of the bound to I(xt) in Eq. (18) for two different deterministic trajectories starting at x0 = 2 and x0 = 4 (Vdd = 3). c Bound to Iss(x0) for a fixed xt according to Eq. (18), for xt = x* ± 2δ (\(\delta=1/\sqrt{2{{\Omega }}}\), Ω = 10, and Vdd = 3).
