SUMMARY

CMOS technology is preferred over NMOS and PMOS structures primarily for its power-saving capabilities rather than speed enhancement. The combination of PMOS and NMOS transistors in a CMOS configuration allows for reduced power dissipation during operation. This efficiency is achieved because CMOS only consumes power during switching, unlike NMOS or PMOS alone, which continuously draw power. Understanding the operational logic behind this power efficiency is essential for optimizing circuit designs.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of CMOS technology and its components
  • Knowledge of NMOS and PMOS transistor characteristics
  • Familiarity with power dissipation concepts in electronic circuits
  • Basic principles of digital logic design
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the operational principles of CMOS technology
  • Explore the differences in power dissipation between NMOS, PMOS, and CMOS
  • Study the design techniques for optimizing CMOS circuits
  • Examine case studies on CMOS applications in modern electronics
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, circuit designers, and students interested in semiconductor technology and power-efficient circuit design.

we know that,
CMOS is used rather than NMOS and PMOS for greater speed of operation.
but,
using PMOS and NMOS together for CMOS structure,
how can we operate it for greater speed?



:::: in CMOS structure, P and NMOS are shown one beside another.(for many cases,though there are many other structural views).

The motivation for using CMOS over NMOS or PMOS alone is really to save power, not to increase speed. Does this answer your question?

yes,
I am sorry.
CMOS is used for less power dissipation.

but,
how p and nMOS both manage to reduce power dissipation?
what is the logic behind it?
 
Take a look at the Wikipedia on CMOS. It has a nice overview of why CMOS is generally superior to NMOS or PMOS alone.
