CMOS circuits

CMOS is a technology used to create digital circuits. The basic idea is to combine a pMOS circuit and a nMOS circuit.

MOSFET

Four MOSFET are important for CMOS:

  nMOS pMOS
depletion nMOS - depletion type pMOS depletion
enhancement nMOS - enhancement type pMOS - enhancement type

Images

I tried to find good software to create those images. I didn't find any that allowed me to create those images. I've tried this:

  • Cirkuit: Looks good, but crashes.
  • EAGLE: too complex
  • KLogic: seems only to be able to create logic plans
  • PCB Designer: too complex, weird interface

Anything else?

Which other circuits do we have to know? (Perhaps Transmission Gate?)
