Consider the following statements about low power design.

1. Dynamic power goes as the square of the supply   2. Leakage rises with temperature   3. A deeper sleep mode is always the better choice

  • A.1 and 2 only are correct
  • B.1, 2 and 3 are all correct statements about low power design
  • C.2 and 3 only are correct
  • D.1 and 3 only are correct

Answer: A

Correct answer: 1 and 2 only are correct

Statements 1 and 2 are correct: dynamic power goes as the square of the supply, and leakage rises steeply with temperature, roughly doubling every ten degrees or so. Statement 3 is wrong - a deeper mode saves more current but costs more energy and time to enter and leave, and loses more state, so below a break-even interval a shallower mode wins. The right depth follows from how long the device will stay there.
