Question 1.
What is gate sizing?
Show hintHide hint
Think about why we need to change the size of gates in a design.
Question 2.
Why is technology mapping important in gate sizing?
Show hintHide hint
Consider the tools available in circuit design.
3Question 3.
What effect does larger gate size have on power consumption?
- Increases power consumption
- Decreases power consumption
- No effect
Show hintHide hint
Think about how size affects electrical characteristics.
4Question 4.
True or False: Technology mapping is not necessary for optimizing gate sizes.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider the role technology plays in design.
Question 5.
Given a circuit with specific performance requirements, propose a gate sizing plan that balances speed and power requirements efficiently.
Show hintHide hint
Assess which parts of the circuit are speed critical and optimize accordingly.
Question 6.
You are given a technology library with different gate sizes and power characteristics. How would you approach selecting gates to meet specific design goals?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how each gate’s attributes align with your design goals.
