In a CMOS inverter, power is consumed during the transitional switching of the PMOS and NMOS devices. Explain the source of the current glitch seen in the figure belowHow could this current glitch be reduced to save power? A particular IC chip can dissipate 10 W and contains 5 million CMOS inverters. Each inverter is being switched at 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 MHz, what is the maximum capacitive load on each inverter if VDD = 3.3 V

Assume VDD = 5 V, VTNN = 0.8 V, |VTHP| = 0.8 V, KPn = 46 μA/V2, KPp = 15 μA/V2, the minimum MOS channel length = 2 μm, (1) In a CMOS inverter design, NMOS transistor has a size (W/L) 10 μm/2 μm, calculate the PMOS size to set the switching point or the inverter threshold at around 2.25 V. (2) Calculate the equivalent resistance of NMOS and PMOS transistors in the CMOS inverter you designed. (3) If the total equivalent output capacitance is 100 fF in your CMOS inverter, calculate tpHL and tpLH. (4) What is the dynamic power consumption of your inverter if a 50 MHz clock is feed into your inverter? (Assume the total equivalent output capacitance is 100 fF) (5) If 1×106 of your inverters are integrated on a chip and all inverters are driven by 100 MHz clock, what is the dynamic power consumption of this chip? (Assume the total equivalent output capacitance of each inverter is 100 fF)
