Some key computer functions are governed by the CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor), a chip on your motherboard powered by a small battery. The CMOS governs things like the system time ...

Let’s clarify a few things first. A CMOS chip is vastly different than the CMOS battery on your motherboard. CMOS is a MOSFET-type technology used for logical operations. In simple terms ...

A CMOS-based chip that records the intensities of light as variable charges similar to a CCD chip. Although initially used in less expensive digital cameras, the quality of CMOS sensors has ...

If you ever need to reflash BIOS on a modern motherboard, take note. As for 1.8V rail, she ended up tapping the 1.8V power pin of the SPI chip the motherboard itself to power the chip while ...

In many cases the business changes help drive uses of the technical improvements, so we begin by looking at the commercial landscape before examining the technical environment and, in particular, the ...
