Question: Repeat Problem 16.41 for the case when the chip contains 5 million CMOS inverters being switched at (f=8 mathrm{MHz}) and the total power dissipated can

Repeat Problem 16.41 for the case when the chip contains 5 million CMOS inverters being switched at \(f=8 \mathrm{MHz}\) and the total power dissipated can be \(10 \mathrm{~W}\).

Data From Problem 16.41:-

A particular IC chip can dissipate \(3 \mathrm{~W}\) and contains 10 million CMOS inverters. Each inverter is being switched at a frequency \(f\).

(a) Determine the average power that each inverter can dissipate without exceeding the total allowed power.

(b) If the switching frequency is \(f=5 \mathrm{MHz}\), what is the maximum capacitive load on each inverter if (i) \(V_{D D}=5 \mathrm{~V}\), (ii) \(V_{D D}=3.3 \mathrm{~V}\), and (iii) \(V_{D D}=1.5 \mathrm{~V}\).
