why cmos has low power consumption?

CMOS logic dissipates less power than NMOS logic circuits because CMOS dissipates power only when switching ("dynamic power"). ... Static CMOS gates are very power efficient because they dissipate nearly zero power when idle. Earlier, the power consumption of CMOS devices was not the major concern while designing chips.

Here pull up is nMOS transistor and pull down is pMOS transistor. When logic 1 is applied as input, nMOS transistor turns ON and PMOS transistor turns OFF. ... But due to threshold voltage effect, nMOS is not capable of passing Vdd/ good logical 1 at the output. Hence, the output will be Vdd-Vth.

If the CMOS battery in your computer or laptop dies, the machine will be unable to remember its hardware settings when it is powered up. It is likely to cause problems with the day-to-day use of your system. The CMOS battery maintains computer settings.

It has been observed that the transistors in the native substrate tend to have better characteristics than that was made in a well. Because p devices inherently have lower gain than devices, n well process amplifies this difference while a p-well process moderates the difference.

CMOS has longer rise and fall times thus digital signals are simpler and less expensive with the CMOS chips. There is a substantial difference in the voltage level range for both. For TTL it is 4.75 V to 5.25 V while for CMOS it ranges between 0 to 1/3 VDD at a low level and 2/3VDD to VDD at high levels.

why pmos speed is slower than that of nmos hi, PMOS lenght is twice that of NMOS, as mobility of electrons is twice that of hole and to make fall and rise time equal.

In a depletion-mode MOSFET, the device is normally ON at zero gate–source voltage. Such devices are used as load "resistors" in logic circuits (in depletion-load NMOS logic, for example).

Because the transistor was so much smaller and consumed significantly less power, a computer system built with transistors was also much smaller, faster, and more efficient than a computer system built with vacuum tubes.

In case of CMOS the pull up network and the pull down network are complementary to each other, which implies that if the pull up network is active the pull down network is inactive. ... Hence CMOS is ratioless logic while NMOS is a ratioed logic family.

NMOS is faster than PMOS as mobility of carriers (electrons) in NMOS greater than that of holes in PMOS. As conductivity is proportional to mobility, NMOS offers less RDS (on) and gate capacitance than PMOS for same die area.

Because graphics chips keep getting larger and more power hungry. Larger silicon chips are more costly to produce, these larger chips require more power draw which requires more expensive and higher quality power components. GDDR5x/GDDR6 like all memory right now is really expensive.

CMOS stands for “Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor.” The CMOS battery powers the BIOS firmware in your laptop [2]. ... You'll find CMOS batteries in both laptops and desktop PCs, but it's used more frequently in a laptop. That's because laptops are usually unplugged for a longer amount of time than desktop PCs.

A NAND gate is preferred over a NOR gate in implementing CMOS logic because, the area occupied by the NOR gate is larger and the associated capacitance is larger for NOR gate, thereby exhibiting more delay for the circuit.

CMOS sensors are much less expensive to manufacture than CCD sensors. Both CCD (charge-coupled device) and CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) image sensors start at the same point -- they have to convert light into electrons. ... The CMOS approach is more flexible because each pixel can be read individually.

Why MOSFET is preferred over BJT in IC components? Explanation: MOSFET is preferred over BJT because of its low packaging density. Thus, more number of MOSFET memory cells can be accommodated in a particular area as compared to BJT.

The device switches lot faster than BJT and hence is used in switching power supply SMPS. ... BJTs generally introduce more noise into the signal than MOSFETs. This means MOSFETs are more suitable for signal processing applications or for voltage amplifiers. MOSFETs can be made much smaller than BJTs.

TTL circuits utilize BJTs while CMOS circuits utilize FETs. 2. CMOS allows a much higher density of logic functions in a single chip compared to TTL. ... TTL circuits consumes more power compared to CMOS circuits at rest.
