2. A certain gate draws 1.8 µA when its output is HIGH and 3.3 µA when its output is LOW. VCC is 5 V and the gate is operated on a 50% duty cycle. What is the average power dissipation (PD)?
6. If ICCH is specified as 1.1 mA when VCC is 5 V and if the gate is in a static (noncharging) HIGH output state, the power dissipation (PD) of the gate is ________.
Correct Answer: moving data over long distance transmission lines.
9. What must be done in the given figure in order to use two 7485 4-bit comparators to compare two 8-bit numbers?
Options
A. The P < Q, P = Q, and P > Q outputs of COMP A must be connected to the same outputs of COMP B.
B. The P < Q, P = Q, and P > Q outputs of COMP A must be connected to the <, =, and > inputs of COMP B.
C. The = input of COMP A must be connected to Vcc, and the < and > inputs must be connected to ground.
D. The P < Q, P = Q, and P > Q outputs of COMP A must be connected to the <, =, and > inputs of COMP B, the = input of COMP A must be connected to Vcc, and the < and > inputs must be connected to ground.
Correct Answer: The P < Q, P = Q, and P > Q outputs of COMP A must be connected to the <, =, and > inputs of COMP B, the = input of COMP A must be connected to Vcc, and the < and > inputs must be connected to ground.
10. A breadboard-circuit design using a BCD-to-decimal decoder has a problem wherein the operation of the system is erratic. The technician uses his scope to examine the waveforms throughout the system and doesn't really see any problems. While he's scratching his head, what helpful advice can you offer him as to what might be wrong and what to do to correct the problem?
Options
A. The decoder is thermally intermittent; replace it.
B. There is probably a bad connection on the wire wrap protoboard; recheck the wiring.
C. Glitches are probably the culprit; strobe the decoder.
D. The decoder is thermally intermittent and must be replaced; or there is probably a bad connection on the wire wrap protoboard, and the wiring must be rechecked.
