ISRO Electronics & Communication (ECE) 2015 - Question 32

All ISRO Electronics & Communication (ECE) papers | ISRO Electronics & Communication (ECE) 2015

Topic: VLSI Design

Power consumed in a CMOS circuit operating at frequency f is proportional to:

  • A. V_cc
  • B. V_cc f
  • C. V_cc^2 f
  • D. V_cc^2 f²

Answer: C. V_cc^2 f

Explanation: Power consumed in CMOS = (C * f * V_DD^2) / 2. Therefore, power consumed is proportional to V_DD^2 * f.
