A particular IC chip can dissipate 3 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 MHz, what is the maximum capacitive load on each inverter if (i) VDD = 5 V, (ii) VDD = 3.3 V, and (iii) VDD = 1.5 V.
