CONT

MOS circuits first developed in 1973, where the electrical current is a flow of negative charges (electrons). According to some sources, NMOS technology produces circuits that run twice as fast as PMOS-based circuits (see also PMOS), are smaller than PMOS circuits, need less power and generate less heat. NMOS chips are frequently used in applications requiring high-density memory and logic circuits.
