Factors affecting Power Consumption on a chip?

Answer Posted / pankaj

power is dirlectly proportional to the square of suplly
voltage so is the supply voltage reduces the power is also
reduced but the lekage cuurent is increased. so voltage
level can't be reduced so much.

Calculate rise delay of a 3-input NAND gate driving a 3-input NOR gate through a 6mm long and 0.45m wide metal wire with sheet resistance R = 0.065 / and Cpermicron= 0.25 fF/m. The resistance and capacitance of the unit NMOS are 6.5k and 2.5fF. Use a 3 segment -model for the wire. Consider PMOS and NMOS size of reference inverter as 2 and 1 respectively. Use appropriate sizing for the NAND and NOR gate.
