6.5.1. CMOS Logic Gates

Try these first

1. 1.

   What do CMOS logic gates utilize?

   Hint

   Think about the two types of transistors we discussed.

2. 2.

   What is an OR gate?

   Hint

   Remember the 'one or more' logic.

3. 3.

   What are the primary transistors used in CMOS logic gates?

   • Only nMOS
   • Only pMOS
   • Both nMOS and pMOS

   Hint

   Recall the complementary nature of CMOS.

4. 4.

   True or False: CMOS gates produce static power consumption.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Think about the switching behavior of these gates.

5. 5.

   Deduce the output of a series of CMOS gates connected in a logic circuit given specific inputs.

   Hint

   Break down the circuit step by step.

6. 6.

   Analyze the differences between CMOS and TTL technology in terms of performance and applications.

   Hint

   Consider voltage levels, static versus dynamic power consumption.
