    CMOS technology uses both PMOS and NMOS transistors for circuit design, while NMOS only uses NMOS transistors. CMOS propagates both logic 0 and 1, whereas NMOS only propagates logic 1. CMOS has several advantages over NMOS, including very low static power consumption, high density of logic functions on a chip, and high noise immunity. For these reasons, CMOS technology is preferred over NMOS for embedded system design and is widely used in VLSI chips.

    The Difference between CMOS technology and NMOS technology

    The difference between CMOS technology and NMOS technology can be easily
    differentiated with their working principles, advantages and disadvantages as
    discussed.

    CMOS Technology:
    Complementary metal
    oxide semiconductor
    (CMOS technology) is
    used to construct ICs
    and this technology is
    used in digital logic
    circuits, microprocessors, microcontrollers and static RAM. CMOS technology is
    also used in several analog circuits like data converters, image sensors and in
    highly integrated transceivers. The main features of CMOS technology are low
    static power consumption and high noise immunity.
    When the couple of transistors are in OFF condition, the combination of series
    draws significant power only during switching between ON & OFF states. So, MOS
    devices do not generate as much waste heat as other forms of logic. For
    example, TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) or MOS logic, which normally have
    some standing current even when not changing state. This allows a high density
    of logic functions on a chip. Due to this reason, this technology most widely used
    and is implemented in VLSI chips.
    Advantages of CMOS Technology
    These devices are used in a range of applications with analog circuits like, image
    sensors, data converters, etc. The advantages of CMOS technology over NMOS
    are as follows.
    o

    Very low static power consumption

    Reduce the complexity of the circuit

    High density of logic functions on a chip

    Low static power consumption

    High noise immunity

    Why CMOS Technology Is Preferred Over NMOS Technology


    CMOS stands for Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor. On the other hand, NMOS is a
    metal oxide semiconductor MOS or MOSFET (metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor).
    These are two logic families, where CMOS uses both PMOS and MOS transistors for design and
    NMOS uses only FETs for design. CMOS is chosen over NMOS for embedded system design.
    Because, CMOS propagates both logic o and 1, whereas NMOS propagates only logic 1 that is

    VDD. The O/P after passing through one, the NMOS gate would be VDD-Vt. Therefore, CMOS
    technology is preferred.
    In CMOS logic gates, a set of n-type MOSFETs is positioned in a pull-down network between the
    low-voltage power supply rail and the output. Instead of the load resistor of NMOS logic gates,
    CMOS logic gates have a collection of P-type MOSFETs in a pull-up network between the highvoltage rail and the output. Therefore, if both transistors have their gates connected to the same
    input, the p-type MOSFET will be on when the n-type MOSFET is off, and vice-versa.
    CMOS and NMOS both inspired by the growth in digital technologies, that are used to construct
    the integrate circuits. Both CMOS and NMOS are used in many digital logic circuits and
    functions, static RAM and microprocessors. These are used as data converters and image
    sensors for analog circuits, and also used in Trans-receptors for many modes of telephone
    communication. While both CMOS and NMOS have the same function as transistors for both
    analog and digital circuits, but many people still choose the CMOS technology to the latter for its
    many advantages.
    As compared to the NMOS, the CMOS technology is top in quality. Especially, when it comes to
    its features like low-static power utilization and noise resistance, CMOS technology conserves
    energy and it does not produce heat. Though costly, a lot of people prefer the CMOS technology
    due to its complex composition that makes it hard for the black market to fabricate the technology
    used by the CMOS.
