7. Current density J is scaled by
a) α/β
b) β/α
c) α2/β
d) β2/α
View Answer
Explanation: Current density J is scaled by α^2/β. Current density is given by Idss/A where Idss is scaled by 1/β and area A by 1/α^2.
8. Power dissipation per gate is scaled by
a) 1/α
b) 1/β
c) 1/α2
d) 1/β2
View Answer
Explanation: Power dissipation per gate is scaled by 1/β^2. This is the sum of static component Pgs and dynamic component Pgd.
9. Power dissipation per unit area is scaled by
a) 1/α
b) 1/β
c) β2/α2
d) α2/β2
View Answer
Explanation: Power dissipation per unit area Pa is scaled by α2/β2. This is given by Pg/Ag where Pg is scaled by 1/β2 and Ag by 1/α2.
10. In constant voltage model, the saturation current is scaled by
a) α
b) β
c) 1
d) β2
View Answer
Explanation: Saturation current is scaled by 1 in constant voltage model. This is because saturation current is scaled by 1/β and here in constant voltage model β is 1.
11. In constant field model, maximum operationg frequency is scaled by
a) α
b) β
c) α2
d) β2
View Answer
Explanation: In constant field model, maximum operating frequency is scaled by α. Maximum operating frequency is scaled by α2/β and here in this model β = α.
12. In constant electric field model, power dissipation per unit area is scaled by
a) α
b) β
c) 1
d) β2
View Answer
Explanation: Power dissipation per unit area is scaled by 1 in constant electric field model. This is scaled by α2/β2 and here in constant electric field model β = α.
