The power consumption of the integrated circuits was also reduced, especially with the introduction of CMOS technology.

The CMOS ( complementary metal oxide semiconductor ) process technology is the basis for modern digital integrated circuits.

The 6309 is fabricated in CMOS technology, while the 6809 is an NMOS device.

Fairchild Semiconductor was also home of the first silicon gate IC technology with self-aligned gates, which stands as the basis of all modern CMOS computer chips.

3278 terminals continued to be manufactured in Hortolandia, near Campinas, Brazil as far as late 1980s, having its internals redesigned by a local engineering team using modern CMOS technology, while retaining its external look and feel.

These sensors may use CMOS or charge-coupled device ( CCD ) technology, depending on the application.

The requirements of high-infrastructure design were drastically reduced during the mid-1990s with CMOS mainframe designs replacing the older bipolar technology.

Digital cameras use an electronic image sensor based on light-sensitive electronics such as charge-coupled device ( CCD ) or complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor ( CMOS ) technology.

By virtue of their CMOS technology they had low power requirements and were used in some embedded military systems.

The 1970s saw rise to similar special purpose hardware timing devices, etc., such as roulette-prediction devices using next-generation technology, in particular a group known as Eudaemonic Enterprises that used a CMOS 6502 microprocessor with 5K RAM to create a shoe-computer with inductive radio communications between a data-taker and better.

A number of advances in CMOS technology by many workers in the semiconductor field since the work of Wanlass have enabled the extremely dense and high-performance ICs that the industry makes today.

For example, the 74HCT00 series provides many drop-in replacements for bipolar 7400 series parts, but uses CMOS technology.

Complementary metal – oxide – semiconductor ( CMOS ) () is a technology for constructing integrated circuits.

CMOS technology is used in microprocessors, microcontrollers, static RAM, and other digital logic circuits.

CMOS technology is also used for several analog circuits such as image sensors ( CMOS sensor ), data converters, and highly integrated transceivers for many types of communication.

It was primarily for this reason that CMOS became the most used technology to be implemented in VLSI chips.

As the CMOS technology moved below sub-micron levels the power consumption per unit area of the chip has risen tremendously.

Besides digital applications, CMOS technology is also used in analog applications.

Intel's original MCS-51 family was developed using NMOS technology, but later versions, identified by a letter C in their name ( e. g., 80C51 ) used CMOS technology and consumed less power than their NMOS predecessors.

Cheetah was originally planned to be manufactured using bipolar emitter-coupled logic ( ECL ) technology, but by 1984 complementary metal – oxide – semiconductor ( CMOS ) technology afforded an increase in the level of circuit integration while improving transistor-logic performance.

Lattice GALs combine CMOS and electrically erasable ( E ^ 2 ) floating gate technology for a high-speed, low-power logic device.

* CMOS ASICs-what's commonly used today, they're so common that the term ASIC is not used for CPUs

The 6309 is Hitachi's CMOS version of the Motorola 6809 microprocessor.

Serial time encoded amplified microscopy ( STEAM ) is an imaging method that provides ultrafast shutter speed and frame rate, by using optical image amplification to circumvent the fundamental trade-off between sensitivity and speed, and a single-pixel photodetector to eliminate the need for a detector array and readout time limitations The method is at least 1000 times faster than the state-of-the-art CCD and CMOS cameras.

If successful, these effort could usher in a new era of neural computing that is a step beyond digital computing, because it depends on learning rather than programming and because it is fundamentally analog rather than digital even though the first instantiations may in fact be with CMOS digital devices.

A photograph or photo is an image created by light falling on a light-sensitive surface, usually photographic film or an electronic image such as a CCD or a CMOS chip.

When the shutter is released, the mirror moves out of the light path, and the light shines directly onto the film ( or in the case of a DSLR, the CCD or CMOS imaging sensor ).

For example, the sampling process in any standard image sensor ( CCD or CMOS camera ) is relatively far from the ideal sampling which would measure the image intensity at a single point.

A dedicated voltage comparator chip such as LM339 is designed to interface with a digital logic interface ( to a TTL or a CMOS ).

The Hitachi 6301 processor is an enhanced development based on the Motorola 6801 implemented in CMOS, with a number of extra instructions, various hardware system-on-single chip facilities on-chip, power management and support for a sleep state.

TTL is less sensitive to damage from electrostatic discharge than early CMOS devices.

The low-performance " lateral " bipolar transistors sometimes used in CMOS processes are sometimes designed symmetrically, that is, with no difference between forward and backward operation.

CMOS is also sometimes referred to as complementary-symmetry metal – oxide – semiconductor ( or COS-MOS ).

Since this advantage has increased and grown more important, CMOS processes and variants have come to dominate, thus the vast majority of modern integrated circuit manufacturing is on CMOS processes.

Because of this behaviour of input and output, the CMOS circuits ' output is the inverse of the input.

An important characteristic of a CMOS circuit is the duality that exists between its PMOS transistors and NMOS transistors.

Toshiba was also a second-source maker of the CMOS 68HC000 ( TMP68HC000 ).

A CMOS version was also developed with specified frequency limits ranging from 4 MHz up to 20 MHz for the version sold today.

The CMOS version also allowed a low-power sleep with internal state retained ( having no lower frequency limit ).

The SL and TL were also shipped with MS-DOS 3. 3 and DeskMate 3 in ROM, and featured an EEPROM memory chip to store BIOS settings ( which enabled similar functionality to today's CMOS NVRAMs, so that startup options could be saved ).

The program also redirected the military's interest in GaAs ICs back toward the commercial mainstream of CMOS circuits.

CMOS also allows a high density of logic functions on a chip.

This strong, more nearly symmetric response also makes CMOS more resistant to noise.

:* Charging and discharging of load capacitances. CMOS circuits dissipate power by charging the various load capacitances ( mostly gate and wire capacitance, but also drain and some source capacitances ) whenever they are switched.

In reference to digital cameras, APS may also mean active pixel sensor, a type of CMOS image sensor.

There are also filters which are used in solid state ( CCD or CMOS ) video cameras to block IR due to the high sensitivity of many camera sensors to near-infrared light.

Jumper blocks and jumpers are also often used on motherboards to clear the CMOS information, resetting the BIOS configuration settings.

They are also suitable for electrostatic discharge ( ESD ) protection of sensitive devices such as III-V-semiconductor devices, laser diodes and, to a lesser extent, exposed lines of CMOS circuitry.

Like the 4000 series, the newer CMOS versions of the 7400 series are also usable as analog amplifiers using negative feedback ( similar to operational amplifiers with only an inverting input ).

Bipolar devices are also limited to a fixed power supply voltage, typically 5 V, while CMOS parts often support a range of supply voltages.

Many parts in the CMOS HC, AC, and FC families are also offered in " T " versions ( HCT, ACT, and FCT ) which have input thresholds that are compatible with both TTL and 3. 3 V CMOS signals.

CMOS elements with TTL pin-out are also available, for example 1564 series is equivalent to 74HC.

In addition to a proprietary CMOS processor design Unisys also uses Intel Xeon processors and runs MCP, Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems on their Libra servers.
