What is the primary component measured by propagation delay?
💡 Hint: Remember, it's related to how long it takes for a signal to propagate through a circuit.
True or False: Static power is always higher than dynamic power in CMOS circuits.

Consider a CMOS circuit with three stages of logic gates, each with a identified propagation delay of 1.2 ns, 0.8 ns, and 1.5 ns. Calculate the total propagation delay for the circuit.
💡 Hint: Simply add the delays from each gate.
A CMOS circuit operates with a supply voltage of 1.8V and a load capacitance of 15nF. If it switches at 1 MHz with a switching activity factor of 0.2, calculate the dynamic power consumption.
💡 Hint: Remember to convert the units correctly.
