CMOS. Complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS, pronounced "sea-moss", / siːmɑːs /, /- ɒs /) is a type of metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) fabrication process that uses complementary and symmetrical pairs of p-type and n-type MOSFETs for logic functions. [1] CMOS technology is used for constructing ...
AND-OR-invert. AND-OR-invert (AOI) logic and AOI gates are two-level compound (or complex) logic functions constructed from the combination of one or more AND gates followed by a NOR gate (equivalent to an OR gate through an Inverter gate, which is the "OI" part of "AOI"). Construction of AOI cells is particularly efficient using CMOS ...
An inverter circuit outputs a voltage representing the opposite logic-level to its input. Its main function is to invert the input signal applied. If the applied input is low then the output becomes high and vice versa. Inverters can be constructed using a single NMOS transistor or a single PMOS transistor coupled with a resistor. Since this ...
A schematic of a simple 3-inverter ring oscillator whose output frequency is 1/ (6×inverter delay). A ring oscillator is a device composed of an odd number of NOT gates in a ring, whose output oscillates between two voltage levels, representing true and false. The NOT gates, or inverters, are attached in a chain and the output of the last ...
Invented. 1959. Electronic symbol. IGBT schematic symbol. An insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) is a three-terminal power semiconductor device primarily forming an electronic switch. It was developed to combine high efficiency with fast switching. It consists of four alternating layers (NPNP) [1][2][3][4][5] that are controlled by a metal ...
Domino logic. General domino logic implementation, with the pull-down network symbolising a network of NMOS transistors. [1] Domino logic is a CMOS -based evolution of dynamic logic techniques consisting of a dynamic logic gate cascaded into a static CMOS inverter. [2] The term derives from the fact that in domino logic, each stage ripples the ...
A CMOS inverter circuit. By definition, the logical effort g of an inverter is 1. If the inverter drives an equivalent inverter, the electrical effort h is also 1. The parasitic delay p of an inverter is also 1 (this can be found by considering the Elmore delay model of the inverter).
A power inverter, inverter, or invertor is a power electronic device or circuitry that changes direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). [1] The resulting AC frequency obtained depends on the particular device employed. Inverters do the opposite of rectifiers which were originally large electromechanical devices converting AC to DC.
