The result is low power consumption because very little energy is wasted as heat. For example, consider a simple CMOS inverter circuit. An inverter takes an input signal and produces an output signal ...

The circuit came from the Electronics Library website and is fairly complex for this sort of device. The CMOS inverters have a high input impedance so they pick up the weak signal. Instead of ...

1 NAND inverting gate and AND non-inverting gate Standard CMOS gates used in IC design are inverting for a variety of reasons, including lower area and delay compared to the non inverting versions. So ...
