CMOS
n.n. Stands for Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor. A type of technology used to make computer chips and sensors that use very little power. It is the most common type of memory used in modern computers to store basic settings.
n. Abbreviation for Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor. A type of integrated circuit technology that uses both n-type and p-type transistors to reduce power consumption and increase performance. In the context of computing, it refers to the low-power memory used to store the BIOS settings.
The camera uses a CMOS sensor to capture high-quality images.
Modern processors are built using advanced CMOS technology to ensure they remain cool and efficient during heavy workloads.
The transition from NMOS to CMOS in the 1980s significantly improved the power efficiency of microprocessors, making them suitable for portable computing devices.
From C (“complementary”) + MOS.
