This can be anything from a microcontroller and various controller ICs to a sprinkling of MOSFETs ... not just the still common 4000-series CMOS logic chips (introduced by RCA in 1968), but ...

and one of the most fascinating stories in technology history on both sides of the Iron Curtain. Continue reading “TTL And CMOS Logic ICs: The Building Blocks Of A Revolution” → ...

CMOS is, and will continue to be ... this is that the entire device is normally designed as a single synchronous circuit. By using asynchronous logic many of these problems can be resolved.

Any typical digital design style with CMOS uses complementary pairs of p-type and n-type MOSFETs for logic functions implementation. Naturally, CMOS always ought to provide INVERTED outputs like ...
