22. The term buffer/driver signifies the ability to provide low output currents to drive light loads.
  • TRUE
  • FALSE
Show Answer
23. PMOS and NMOS ________.
  • represent MOSFET devices utilizing either P-channel or N-channel devices exclusively within a given gate
  • are enhancement-type CMOS devices used to produce a series of high-speed logic known as 74HC
  • represent positive and negative MOS-type devices, which can be operated from differential power supplies and are compatible with operational amplifiers
  • None of the above
Show Answer
24. Why is the operating frequency for CMOS devices critical for determining power dissipation?
  • At low frequencies, power dissipation increases.
  • At high frequencies, the gate will only be able to deliver 70.7 % of rated power.
  • At high frequencies, charging and discharging the gate capacitance will draw a heavy current from the power supply and thus increase power dissipation.
  • At high frequencies, the gate will only be able to deliver 70.7 % of rated power and charging and discharging the gate capacitance will draw a heavy current from the power supply and thus increase power dissipation.

  • fan-out
  • power dissipation
  • propagation delay
Show Answer
26. The problem of different current requirements when CMOS logic circuits are driving TTL logic circuits can usually be overcome by the addition of:
  • a CMOS inverting bilateral switch between the stages
  • a TTL tristate inverting buffer between the stages
  • a CMOS noninverting bilateral switch between the stages
  • a CMOS buffer or inverting buffer
Show Answer
27. Totem-pole outputs ________ be connected ________ because ________.
  • can, in parallel, sometimes higher current is required
  • cannot, together, if the outputs are in opposite states excessively high currents can damage one or both devices
  • should, in series, certain applications may require higher output voltage
  • can, together, together they can handle larger load currents and higher output voltages
Show Answer
28. The high input impedance of MOSFETs:
  • allows faster switching
  • reduces input current and power dissipation
  • prevents dense packing
