| Aug 16, 2021 at 18:44 | comment | added | Elliot Alderson | @MathieuKrisztian Be careful! I said the lower voltage terminal is source for NMOS and higher voltage terminal is source for PMOS. I learned this when I studied semiconductor physics and learned how an MOS transistor worked. | |

| Aug 16, 2021 at 16:13 | comment | added | Mathieu Krisztian | Very interesting. How did you learn this information (that if this is not written, the lower for NMOS is the source, the higher for the PMOS is the source) ? | |
