Question 1.
What are the primary standard logic gates discussed?
Show hintHide hint
Think about the basic types of gates used in digital circuits.
Question 2.
What is the primary advantage of using minimum-sized transistors?
Show hintHide hint
Consider power loss due to leakage.
3Question 3.
What is the purpose of optimizing logic gates?
- To reduce complexity
- To minimize power consumption
- To increase size
Show hintHide hint
Think about energy efficiency in digital design.
4Question 4.
True or False: Dynamic logic always consumes less power than static logic.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider when each type of logic might be used.
Question 5.
A CMOS design utilizes NAND gates with leakage current rates of 10uA for minimum-sized and 30uA for larger gates. Calculate the total leakage current if the design includes 100 minimum-sized gates and 50 larger gates.
Show hintHide hint
Sum the leakage current contributions of both gate sizes.
Question 6.
Discuss and compare the performance impacts of using dynamic logic versus static logic in a video processing circuit that prioritizes speed.
Show hintHide hint
Consider the trade-offs between speed and reliability.
