Do you know the history of CMOS? 🤔

The path to this technology was anything but direct. PMOS, NMOS, and other fundamental architectural approaches ultimately led to the development that became the basis for chips like Zilog Z80, MOS6502, Intel 4004, 8008, and all their successors.

Fancy a short excursion into history? If so, then Paul McLellan, aka @paulmclellan, is your guide for a brief 9-minute read that will certainly not make you any less knowledgeable.

Nothing groundbreaking, but even for the trained retro enthusiast, it's certainly interesting if the development of CMOS is one of the few gaps in your knowledge.

The cherry on top... uh, sorry, on the article: A look into the future. And considering that Cadence, for which Paul writes in his article, is next to Synopsis the largest IP Core provider in the world, it offers a truly exciting outlook into the coming years of chip manufacturing.
