CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor)
CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) transistors combine NMOS and PMOS transistors in a complementary pair. This structure offers several advantages, including:
?Lower power consumption: When the input is high, the NMOS transistor is on and the PMOS transistor is off, and vice versa. This means that only one transistor is conducting at a time, reducing power consumption.
?Higher noise immunity: The complementary structure helps to cancel out noise and improve the circuit's overall reliability.
?Simplified design: CMOS circuits are often easier to design and analyze compared to circuits using only NMOS or PMOS transistors.
Due to these advantages, CMOS is the most widely used technology for integrated circuits today.
Advantages over NMOS and PMOS transistors, including:
?Lower power consumption: The complementary structure ensures that only one transistor is conducting at a time, reducing power dissipation.
?Higher noise immunity: The complementary structure helps to cancel out noise and improve the circuit's reliability.
Overall, CMOS is the most widely used technology for integrated circuits due to its superior performance, power efficiency, and reliability.
