What does CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor)?
CMOS technology is used in microprocessors, microcontrollers, static RAM, and other digital logic circuits. CMOS technology is also used for a wide variety of analog circuits such as image sensors, data converters, and highly integrated transceivers for many types of communication.CMOS was also sometimes referred to as complementary-symmetry metaloxidesemiconductor (or COS-MOS). The words \”complementary-symmetry\” refer to the fact that the typical digital design style with CMOS uses complementary and symmetrical pairs of p-type and n-type metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) for logic functions.
