It's a technology used to produce integrated circuits.
Max SmartHOST

CMOS circuits are found in several types of electronic components, usually microprocessors, batteries, and newer digital camera image sensors.
Max SmartHOST
55:34
The MOS in CMOS refers to the transistors in in a CMOS component called MOSFETs, metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors.

Very science-y.

The metal part of the name is a bit misleading because all of this is done through silicon, right? So polysilicon instead of aluminum is the conductive material.

Thermal or protection shutdown, meaning a shorted cell or a failed protection MOS FET, which is less common but real.

A firmware or charge.

So where do you think the technology stands today? And what are the biggest challenges that still need to be overcome for a broader, even more, adoption?
Alex LidowGUEST
2:12
So it's really only in the last year that the GaN transistors have surpassed MOSFETs at low voltages, say 40 volts and down, in terms of all performance metrics.
Alex LidowGUEST
2:24
And certainly, GaN has approached MOSFETs in terms of manufacturing costs as well over the past several years.
Alex LidowGUEST
2:31
So we really have opened up the door to much bigger applications.
Alex LidowGUEST
2:36
The lower the voltage, by the way, the larger the market.

So what would be, what design also, what design philosophy should they adopt to fully exploit the capabilities of GAN, of modern GAN devices and advanced passive technologies?
Alex LidowGUEST
15:31
You know, first of all, if you're already in GAN good, Or silicon carbide, good.
Alex LidowGUEST
15:37
If you're in silicon MOSFETs, get out of it.
