Question 1.
Define Dynamic Power in CMOS circuits.
Show hintHide hint
Think about what happens when transistors are active.
Question 2.
What affects Static Power in a circuit?
Show hintHide hint
Consider the state of the transistors.
3Question 3.
What is the formula for calculating Dynamic Power in a CMOS circuit?
- P_dyn = α * CL * V_dd * f
- P_dyn = α * CL * V_dd² * f
- P_dyn = CL * V_dd * f
Show hintHide hint
Remember the role of each term in the equation.
4Question 4.
Is Static Power concerned with leakage currents?
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about the state of a circuit when powered off.
Question 5.
Analyze a CMOS circuit comprised of multiple gates and calculate overall dynamic power if given individual gate characteristics with CL, Vdd, and f.
Show hintHide hint
Make sure to account for each component distinctly.
Question 6.
Compare power dissipation of an inverter with a specified set of parameters using both CMOS and FinFET technology.
