The preference for NMOS, when compared to other logic families arises a) as it uses more silicon area b) as it consumes less static power c) as it utilizes a smaller silicon area d) as it has a higher input impedance Which of the following options is correct?

Correct Answer c) is correct but d) is wrong
NMOS has the following characteristics:
1. it uses a smaller silicon area.
2. it consumes high static power
3. it has a lower input impedance
Important points:
- CMOS technology is mainly used in digital logic circuits construction like microprocessors, microcontrollers, memory, etc.
- NMOS and PMOS technologies are also used in designing digital logic circuits and in this collection and transfer of charge mechanism is not used.
- Nowadays CMOS technology is used widely and no PMOS and very rare NMOS technology is used in designing an integrated circuit.
The key difference between NMOS, PMOS, and CMOS
|
NMOS |
PMOS |
CMOS |
|
Electrons are major carriers. |
Hole are major carriers. |
Both electrons and holes are a carrier. |
|
The P-type substrate is used |
The N-type substrate is used |
Both types of substrate are used based on application |
|
Source and drain are n-type |
Source and drain are p-type |
CMOS used NMOS and PMOS simultaneously. |
|
Conduct only when high voltage is applied to the gate |
Conduct only when low voltage is applied to the gate. |
NMOS and PMOS gate is connected based on applied voltage only one is conducted. |
|
Faster than PMOS |
Slower |
Very faster |
|
Rarely used in the design |
Almost not used for design |
Mostly CMOS is used for design. |
|
Good noise immunity |
Less noise immunity |
Excellent noise immunity |
