"CMOS" refers to both a particular style of digital circuitry design and the family of processes used to implement that circuitry on integrated circuits (chips). CMOS circuitry dissipates less power than logic familieswith

The principle of complementary symmetry was first introduced by George Sziklai in 1953 who then discussed several complementary bipolar circuits. Paul Weimer, also at RCA, invented in 1962 TFTcomplementary circuits, a close relative of CMOS. He invented

 ...

CMOS circuits are constructed in such a way that all P-type metal–oxide–semiconductor(PMOS) transistors must have either an input from the voltage source or from

 ...

CMOS logic dissipates less power than NMOS logic circuits because CMOS dissipates power only when switching ("dynamic power"). On a typical ASIC in a modern 90 nanometer

 ...

Besides digital applications, CMOS technology is also used in analog applications. For example, there are CMOS operational amplifier ICs available in the market.

 ...

Conventional CMOS devices work over a range of −55 °C to +125 °C.
There were theoretical indications as early as August 2008 that

Parasitic transistors that are inherent in the CMOS structure may be turned on by input signals outside the normal operating range, e.g. electrostatic discharges or line reflections. The resulting latch-upmay damage or destroy the CMOS device. Clamp diodes are included
