Why don?t we use just one NMOS or PMOS transistor as a transmission gate?..

Answer / nikki

nmos passes a good 0 and a degraded 1 , whereas pmos passes
a good 1 and bad 0. for pass transistor, both voltage
levels need to be passed and hence both nmos and pkmmos
need to be used.

Why don?t we use just one NMOS or PMOS transistor as a transmission gate?..

Answer / @nks

Because we can't get full voltage swing with only NMOS or
PMOS ... we have to use both of them together for that purpose.
