What Does PMOS Stand For?

PMOS stands for P Channel Metal Oxide Semiconductor

PMOS, or P Channel Metal Oxide Semiconductor, is a type of field-effect transistor that utilizes p-type semiconductor material. It is characterized by its ability to conduct current when a negative voltage is applied to the gate terminal relative to the source, allowing for efficient switching and amplification in electronic circuits. PMOS transistors are commonly used in complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology, where they work alongside NMOS transistors to improve power efficiency and performance in digital and analog applications.
