 Introduction – MOS transistor
MOS transistors conduct electrical current by using an
applied voltage to move charge from the source side to the
drain side of the device
Objective – to examine the characteristics of MOS
transistors
Symbols

 MOS transistor switches
Terminals – Source, drain and gate
Gate – controls the passage of current between the source
and the drain
NMOS, PMOS – viewed as switches
1 – high voltage – Vdd (Power)
0 – low voltage – Vss (ground)
Strength of a signal is usually measured by its ability to sink
or source current
Stronger a signal, the more current it can source or sink

CMOS gate always has

an N-switch (pull-down
array) to connect the
output to 0 and a P-
switch (pull-up array) to
connect the output to 1
