What is the differences among TTL and CMOS logic families?

{| ! CMOS ! TTL | CMOS has good packing density. TTL takes up more space CMOS has better noise immmunity. TTL has a smaller noise immunity range CMOS has a large fan out. TTL can power less inputs CMOS consume less power. TTL use more power CMOS are highly static sensitive. TTL IC's tend to be less susceptible to static electricity CMOS uses FETS (Field-Effect Transistors) TTL uses BJTs (Bipolar junction Transistors CMOS can run with a range of supply voltages. TTL IC's run with a 5V supply. CMOS uses Vdd and Vss for it's power connections TTL uses BJTs (Bipolar junction Transistors CMOS takes a lot less power and is therefore suitable for battery applications, but generally speaking can't run as fast. TTL devices can drive more power into a load. CMOS chips can be damaged by static electricity: even a static jolt that you or I can't feel might destroy a CMOS chip! |}

Why CMOS is the most popular integrated circuit technology?

although very sensitive to static electricity, CMOS is very stable compared to other (older) technologies. it also can handle wider voltage ranges (standard 3.3volt to 18volt) upto 40volt in some cases. in addition CMOS requires very little current (amps) compared to other technologies (1/1000 of amps required for ttl) the static problem is overcome with good handling practices (always earth your hand and handling equipment to each other)


Difference between BIOS and CMOS?

BIOS refers to (Basic Input Output System) it is responsible for booting of your system while DOS(Disk Operating System) is an operating system that user uses by entering commands in command prompt(to open in windows press start+r).
