ATed circuit> (CMOS) A semiconductor fabricATion technology using a combinATion of n- and p-doped semiconductor mATerial to achieve low power dissipATion. Any pATh through a gATe through which current can flow includes both n and p type transistors. Only one type is turned on in any stable stATe so there is no stATic power dissipATion and current only flows when a gATe switches in order to charge the parasitic capacitance. (1999-06-04)
