Power
- Dynamic power:
- Power consumed by the cell when it is active mode.
- Switching Power:
- Power dissipated by the charging and discharging of the output load capacitance of a cell is called switching power.
- Switching power of a cell is a function of output load capacitance and the rate of logic transitions.
- Internal Power:
- Power dissipated by charging and discharging of internal capacitance within the boundary of the cell is called Internal power.
- Short circuit power
- Power dissipated when a small amount of time both the PMOS and NMOS transistors are turns on.
- there is short circuit established from VDD to VSS.
- Leakage power
- Power dissipated by the cell or circuit when it is in stand by mod or inactive mode.
