Nowadays CMOS Small Scale Integration (SSI) logic families, I.E. the gates used in external logic, offer very fast speeds and high current drive capability as well as supporting the low voltages ...

nMOS transistors conduct current when the gate voltage is high, while pMOS transistors conduct current when the gate voltage is low. This complementary behavior is exploited in CMOS circuit design to ...

In 1963, Frank Wanlass and C.T.Sah of Fairchild unveiled the first logic gate in which n-channel and p-channel transistors were used in a complementary symmetric circuit configuration. This is what is ...

Mostly-Analog editor Andy Turudic takes a look at the original 1963 ISSCC paper that described the world’s first CMOS process ...

Recently the combined benefits of the tri-gate CMOS transistor architecture with strained-silicon channels, high-K gate dielectric, metal-gate electrode, and dual epitaxially grown raised source ...

There is technically no such thing as a single CMOS "transistor." CMOS "gates," CMOS "logic" or CMOS "circuits" are more accurate terms, because CMOS technology is made up of NMOS and PMOS ...

Naturally, CMOS always ought to provide INVERTED outputs like Inverter, NAND, NOR etc. Sometimes a non-inverting function is required, in which case it's just as easy to implement it with a final ...
