ABOUT SWITCHING OPERATION
When output A is switched as shown in the figure on the right, a dead
time (time during which both Pch and Nch are off) elapses to prevent
through current. Therefore, the waveform of output A (rise time, fall time,
and delay time) changes depending on whether output B is fixed to the
high or low level.
The output voltage waveforms of A in response to an input waveform
where output B is fixed to the low level (1) or high level (2) are shown
below.

Output A goes into high-impedance state and is in an undefined status during the dead time period. But,
because output B is pulled down by the load, a low level is output to A.
(2) Output B: Fixed to high level
Output A: Switching operation (Operations of Pch switch and Nch switch are shown.)

Output A goes into high-impedance state and is in an undefined status during the dead time period. But,
because output B is pulled up by the load, a high level is output to A.
