Question: A smartphone processor, operating at supply voltage 1 V and switching frequency 1 GHz, has dynamic power consumption of 0.5 W when it is being

A smartphone processor, operating at supply voltage 1 V and switching frequency 1 GHz, has dynamic power consumption of 0.5 W when it is being actively used, and zero when it is not active. It also has static (or leakage) power consumption of 10 mW (10e-3 W). The phone is actively used for 5 minutes out of every hour.

(Remember that 1 watt = 1 joule / second)

How much energy is consumed by dynamic power during a typical hour? ________ joules

How much energy is consumed by static power in an hour? ________ joules

How much total energy is consumed in an hour? ________ joules

Now suppose the engineering team manages to redesign the processor so that it runs at a lower voltage of 0.5 V and at a lower frequency of 0.5 GHz. Assume the capacitive load was unchanged.

What is the dynamic power consumption of this redesigned processor? ________ W

If the phone is still actively used for only 5 minutes out of every hour, how much energy is consumed by dynamic power in an hour? ________ joules

The correct answers are 150, 36, 186, 0.062|0.063, 18.6|18.9, | means between this range. Please show me how you got these answers.
