2 MOSFETs as Switches
MOSFETs
Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor
Field-Effect Transistor
These are electronics devices
that are used to direct and
control logic signals in highdensity digital IC design.
0 Vx VDD
gives the normal range of values with a
power supply providing 0V and VDD
directly to the circuit.
X = 0 means that Vx = 0
X = 1 means that Vx = VDD
In general,
Low voltages correspond to logic
0 values
High voltages correspond to logic
1 values

Pass Characteristics
An ideal electrical switch can pass
any voltage applied to it. This was
implicitly assumed in our
development of switch logic
networks where we used the
switches to pass logic 0 and logic
1 levels equally well. MOSFETs are
more limited in their capabilities
and are not able to pass arbitrary
