What are the differences between nmos and pmos transistors?
NMOS is built with n-type source and drain and a p-type substrate, while PMOS is built with p-type source and drain and a n-type substrate. In a NMOS, carriers are electrons, while in a PMOS, carriers are holes. When a high voltage is applied to the gate, NMOS will conduct, while PMOS will not. Furthermore, when a low voltage is applied in the gate, NMOS will not conduct and PMOS will conduct. NMOS are considered to be faster than PMOS, since the carriers in NMOS, which are electrons, travel twice as fast as holes, which are the carriers in PMOS. But PMOS devices are more immune to noise than NMOS devices. Furthermore, NMOS ICs would be smaller than PMOS ICs (that give the same functionality), since the NMOS can provide one-half of the impedance provided by a PMOS (which has the same geometry and operating conditions).
Is cmos a combination of both nmos and pmos?
yes
What happens if you interchange pmos and nmos in a cmos inverter?
it becomes a buffer
Why Pmos transistor is usually larger than Nmos transistor in layout?
Due to differences in carrier mobility between P and N type semiconductor, for similarly doped channels the channel of a PMOS FET will be a bit wider than the channel of an NMOS FET so that they both have identical channel resistance. To make the channel wider the PMOS FET will take a larger chip area.
What is open drain or open collector?
Open drain or collector means ,collector and drain terminal of BJT and MOSFET will be left open during implementation/fabrication.They will not be connected from Supply Vcc or VDD.
Why pmos is always connected to supply voltage vdd?
for reducing the leakage current.
Why is the substrate in nmos connected to ground and in pmos to vdd?
we try to reverse bias not the channel and substrate but we try to maintain the source,drain junctions reversed biased with respect to the substrate so that we dont loose our current in the substrate.
What type of doping have the drain and the source of a PMOS transistor?
PMOS - (drain + source) = p-type doping NMOS - (drain + source) = n-type doping :)
What happens if you change pmos to nmos and nmos to pmos in cmos?
It will act like a buffer but not the exact buffer. Since nmos conduct logic 1 weakly and pmos conduct logic 0 weakly, the output ranges from vdd-vtn to vtp. For eg. If you apply 5v then the op will be 4.3 not the complete 5v. If you apply 0v then output will be 0.7v not 0 v. Hope this works
What are sleep transistors?
A rest transistor is either a pMOS or nMOS high VT transistor and is utilized as a change to close off force supplies to parts of a configuration in standby mode. The pMOS rest transistor is utilized to switch VDD supply and henceforth is known as a "header switch."
Why CMOS connected to VDD and NMOS to Vcc?
Error on schematic. All MOS is powered by Vdd and/or Vss (drain/source). Only bipolar is powered by Vcc and/or Vee (collector/emitter).

What does vss stand for in electronics?
In electronic circuits, Vss is ground or 0v and Vdd is the the positive supply. The s and d come from the source and drain connections on MOS transistor devices. In a similar way Vcc is also the positive supply, the c coming from the collector on bipolar transistors. The terms Vcc and Vdd are normally interchangeable.
Is cmos a combination of both nmos and pmos?
yes
Full form of vcc and vdd in TTL and CMOS?
vcc-voltage collector to collector vdd- voltage deran to deran ttl- transister transister logic cmos - complementary metal oxide same conductor
Why the resistance of PMOS is greater than NMOS?
because pmos has low mobility . the inverter threshold voltage can be shifted to the middle and the inverter is more symmetrical in terms of transistor times.
What is the 1909 lincoln vdd penny worth?
$10.00 to $20.00 in circulated condition
