Static CMOS is a logic circuit design technique whereby the output is always strongly driven due to it always being connected to either Vcc or GND.

Overview

A static CMOS circuit is composed of two networks:

  • pull-up network (PUN) - a set of PMOS transistors connected between Vcc and the output line
  • pull-down network (PDN) - a set of NMOS transistors connected between GND and the output line

Components designed out pull-up and pull-down networks operate in a mutually exclusive way; in a steady state there is never a direct path between Vcc and GND. Devices that are made up of PUN/PDN are always strongly driven and therefore office strong immunity from noise.
