APPENDIX A
Other Transistor Logic Families
A.1 INTRODUCTION TO THE STANDARD NMOS LOGIC FAMILY
Though CMOS is currently the most important member of the MOS family, NMOS still
occupies a significant position is modern technology. Shown in Fig. A.1 is the generalized
NMOS logic configuration similar to that for CMOS given by Fig. 3.5. The depletion-
mode NMOS serves a similar purpose as the PMOS in CMOS logic it produces a
high resistance (impedance) when the enhancement-mode NMOS logic (NL) is evalu-
ated (shorted to ground), but becomes a low resistance otherwise. Thus, the CMOS NOR
gate in Fig. 8.46 could be replaced by a NOR gate built with the NMOS ...
