A CMOS microprocessor chip containing the equivalent of 10
million logic gates operates from a 2 V supply. The power
dissipation is found to be 10 W when the chip is operating at 1.2
GHz, and 5 W when the chip is operating at 500 MHz. a) What is the
power lost in the chip by the some clock-independent mechanism,
such as leakage and other static currents? [10 points] b) If 12% of
the gates are assumed to be active at any time, what is the average
gate load capacitance in such a design? [15 points]
