Show hintHide hint
Think about what happens when the circuit changes its state.
Question 2.
Name one efficiency metric used in low-power circuit design.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how efficiency is measured in performance.
3Question 3.
Dynamic power is primarily affected by which factors?
- Load capacitance
- Supply voltage
- Activity factor
- All of the above
Show hintHide hint
Consider how these components relate to circuit switching.
4Question 4.
True or False: FinFET technology operates at higher voltages than CMOS.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Recall the typical voltage ranges discussed.
Question 5.
Propose a design methodology for a mixed-signal system using FinFET technology that targets low power usage. Discuss the trade-offs involved in the design process.
Show hintHide hint
Break down the system into its signal processing components and understand where power optimization can best occur.
Question 6.
Devise a scenario where CMOS would be preferred over FinFET. What characteristics of the application support this choice?
Show hintHide hint
Consider the application's cost constraints and importance of performance versus efficiency.
