Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a CMOS inverter to achieve a specified propagation delay of 20ps with a load of 50fF. What considerations must you make?

💡 Hint: Consider the ratio and how it affects charge transfer.

Challenge 2 Hard

If you observe that increasing load capacitance from 10fF to 100fF leads to a delay increase from 10ps to 50ps, analyze the proportional impact on power consumption and explain your findings.

💡 Hint: Revisiting the formula for dynamic power might provide insights.
