Notation NMOS

Definition

An n-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor in which electron conduction forms the channel when the gate bias exceeds the device threshold in normal enhancement-mode operation.

Application

Used with p-channel devices in CMOS logic and as an n-channel switching device across digital, analog, and power semiconductor circuits.
