Replaced NMOS (much lower power dissipation)
Small size, ease of fabrication
Channel length has decreased significantly (as short as 0.06 µm or shorter)
Low power dissipation than bipolar logic circuits ( can pack more) .
High input impedance of MOS transistors can be used to storage charge
temporarily (not in bipolar)
High levels of integration for both logic (chapter 10) and memory circuits
(chapter 11) .
Dynamic logic to further reduce power dissipation and to increase speed
performance .
Bipolar
• TTL (Transistor-transistor logic) had been used for many
years .
• ECL (Emitter –Coupled Logic) : basic element is the
differential BJT pair in chapter 7 .
• BiCMOS : combines the high speed of BJT’s with low
power dissipation of CMOS .
• GaAs : for very high speed due to the high carrier
mobility . Has not demonstrated its potential
commercially .
