Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor Technology employing integrated field-effect transistors in a complementary symmetry arrangement, which simulates "Push/Pull" operation because of the placement of opposing-polarity devices (p-channel and n-channel FETs)
Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor is another type of image sensor found in a digital camera Pixel sensitivity is lower than the CCD sensors and usually has more noise in the imaging device
(n ) Complementary Metal Oxide on Silicon A widely used chip technology See also BiCMOS
Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor A small section of RAM used to hold certain hardware configuration parameters in IBM and compatible computers
Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor Chip technology used for IBM RS/6000 processors
stands for Complimentary Metal Oxide Semiconductor and refers to the physical makeup of the memory chips used to contain the CMOS memory settings The CMOS memory settings are used to semi-permanently store information about your hardware: memory amount, number and type of hard drives and floppy drives, number and type of I/O ports (serial, parallel, SCSI, USB, etc ), system bus types (ISA, PCI, EISA, etc ) and some settings related to this hardware With Plug-and-Play components, Windows 95/98/NT can update some of this information CMOS memory is not the same as the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) memory which is stored in ROM (Read Only Memory) or PROM (Programmable Read Only Memory) In some systems the BIOS is stored in Flash EPROM (Flash-programmable Erasable/Programmable Read Only Memory) which is re-programmable without removing the chips from the system using special software
Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor: Memory used to store hardware configuration information
- Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor: one of the two main types of image sensors used in digital cameras Its basic function is the same as that of a CCD CMOS sensors are currently found in only a handful of digital cameras
Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor, a chip that packs many components into a very small semiconductor
Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor A type of integrated circuit fabrication process
Originally an abbreviation for Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor -- a semiconductor technology used in many integrated circuits Now often used to describe the low-level hardware that contains a personal computer's BIOS setting, and the computer's hardware clock
Abbreviation of complementary metal oxide semiconductor Pronounced see-moss, CMOS is a widely used type of semiconductor CMOS semiconductors use both NMOS (negative polarity) and PMOS (positive polarity) circuits Since only one of the circuit types is on at any given time, CMOS chips require less power than chips using just one type of transistor This makes them particularly attractive for use in battery-powered devices, such as portable computers Personal computers also contain a small amount of battery-powered CMOS memory to hold the date, time, and system setup parameters
Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor A type of detector within a digital camera
Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor A chip which uses small amounts of electricity It is used typically on battery-powered computers and to save configuration information on other computers when they are turned off
Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor A type of sensor used in low-cost, entry-level digital cameras CMOS chips are easier and cheaper to make than CCDs but don't match the picture quality
An abbreviation for Complimentary Metal Oxide Semiconductor In this case CMOS are light sensors that capture images taken by digital cameras Usually they are found in high-end digital cameras with megapixel sensors
(Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) An imaging system used by digital cameras
Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor Logic; logic zero = <1 5 VDC, logic One = >3 5 VDC, and very low current source
Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor A process that uses both N- and P-channel devices in a complimentary fashion to achieve small geometries and low power consumption On a PC CMOS generally refers to the BIOS information stored on a CMOS chip
