Question 1.
What does CMOS stand for?
Show hintHide hint
Think about complementary pairs.
Question 2.
Name one technique used for reducing power in CMOS designs.
Show hintHide hint
It involves lowering a certain electrical parameter.
3Question 3.
Which of the following is a source of static power dissipation?
- Voltage supply fluctuation
- Subthreshold leakage current
- You're GND
Show hintHide hint
This current flows even when the device is 'off'.
4Question 4.
True or False: Dynamic power increases with the frequency of operation.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
More switching means more power consumption.
Question 5.
Design a hypothetical low-power module incorporating both CMOS and FinFET technologies. Outline your strategies for managing power consumption effectively.
Show hintHide hint
Think about where you can balance efficiency and expenses.
Question 6.
Evaluate the impact of switching frequency on both dynamic and static power dissipation in a given circuit design. What recommendations would you make based on your findings?
Show hintHide hint
Focus on the relationship between switching frequency and power.
