Modern digital hardware

• Uses CMOS technology

  • Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor
  • MOS transistors can act as voltage-controlled switches
  • Transistors are not exactly equivalent to single-pole switches, but this picture conveys the general idea
  • We use an analog transistor as a digital switch
  • Can create logical networks using more switches
