The original CMOS logic families were the 4000-series
and the 74C-series circuits. The 74C-series circuits are
functional equivalents to the corresponding numbered
74-series TTL circuits, but have CMOS logic levels and
retain the other well known characteristics of CMOS
logic.
These characteristics are: low power consumption, high
noise immunity, and slow speed. The low power consumption
is inherent to the nature of the CMOS circuit.
The noise immunity is due partly to the CMOS logic
levels, and partly to the slowness of the circuits. The
slow speed is due to the technology used to construct
the transistors in the circuit.
