We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "NMOS",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Power management products extend battery life from
National Semiconductor, which we summarised at the time by saying "National Semiconductor's new power management products extend battery life and enable next-generation visual effects in portable media devices".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Hall switch has a finger on the pulse from
Allegro MicroSystems Europe: "General-purpose Hall-effect bipolar switch is optimised for applications where pulsing the supply line is used to conserve power".
In February 2007, we covered the news from Fairchild Semiconductor
concerning its FOD3180 and FOD3181
- take a look at Drivers bridge from logic to power MOSFETs
which says: "Family of high-frequency optically isolated MOSFET gate drivers is capable of driving up to 30A/1200V in industrial applications".
Take a look also at the news release from IMEC, Riber brings MBE system to Ge and III-V research,
as well as Driver takes control of automotive DC motors from Atmel Corporation,
and Power controller simplifies inverter design from Texas Instruments (April 2001-March 2006).
