In electronic components, COMPLEMENTARY means complementary to each other.
In general, COMPLEMENTARY in electronic parts indicates the case where parts with opposite characteristics or behaviors are used together.
The most common example is COMPLEMENTARY METAL-OXIDE-SEMICONDUCTOR (CMOS).
CMOS operates by using both P-type and N-type semiconductors in the configuration of transistors, and the combination of these P-type and N-type transistors constitutes a digital logic circuit.
P-type and N-type transistors operate complementary to each other to minimize power consumption and provide high performance.
Another example is the combination of COMPLEMENTARY METAL-OXIDE-SEMICONDUCTOR (CMOS) and COMPLEMENTARY METAL-OXIDE-SEMICONDUCTOR (BICMOS).
BICMOS is a combination of CMOS and bipolar transistors and is used as a solution that meets both high performance and low power in digital and analog applications.
Another example is a pair of PNP and NPN transistors called COMPLEMENTARY PAIR.
This pair is used for current amplification or electrical signal inversion in amplifiers and switching circuits.
COMPLEMENTARY is a term used in electronic component design to describe components that implement a specific function or have complementary behavior.
Combinations of these complementary components can be used to improve power consumption, performance, and noise reduction.
