Question 1.
What does DVFS stand for?
Show hintHide hint
Think about adjusting power based on workload.
Question 2.
What is the purpose of clock gating?
Show hintHide hint
Consider where power can be conserved in a circuit.
3Question 3.
What is the primary goal of DVFS?
- To increase device speed

4Question 4.
True or False: Clock gating is used to lower static power consumption.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about when the clock is used.
Question 5.
Design a hypothetical SoC managing workload predictions to optimize power consumption. Discuss what strategies would be employed and the expected outcomes.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how we can prepare ahead of time for different tasks.
Question 6.
Evaluate and propose improvements to a currently existing analog circuit that uses static biasing. How can you integrate dynamic biasing to enhance efficiency?
Show hintHide hint
Focus on how current adjustment can lead to efficiency.
