CMOS Logic

CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) logic is a technology used in creating electronic circuits, particularly in computer chips. It employs pairs of p-type and n-type transistors that work together to form logic gates. When one type of transistor is on, the other is off, reducing power consumption significantly. This design allows for low energy usage, high speed, and increased density of circuits. CMOS technology is fundamental in modern electronics, enabling everything from smartphones to microprocessors, because it efficiently processes and stores digital information while minimizing heat generation and power waste.
