1.5 The right figure shows the clock tree for a 16 core design. Each solid square represents a core. All cores are identical. The inverters in the clock tree have the same size. Each inverter has a nominal delay of 100ps and a random variation of ±20ps. The wire segments in the clock tree are symmetric with respect to RC delay. 1.5.1 What is the maximum clock skew of this clock tree? (1 pts) 1.5.2 What is the maximum clock jitter of this clock tree? (1 pts)

1.7 The figure above presents the design of a sequential machine. The registers are all flip-flops, triggered by the rising edge of the clock. They have tC2Q = 1, tsu = 1, and thold = 1. All four logic blocks are identical, with the logic delay tL = 3. The delay through the multiplexer tM = 2. (A)

1.2 When CMOS technology is scaling down from 28nm to 7nm, which of the following statements is TRUE for on-chip interconnect? You may select more than one. (2 pts) The pitch of metal-1 stays the same. RC delay of metal wires becomes less important as compared to standard cell delay. Crosstalk noise becomes more severe at 7nm. Fewer buffers are inserted to the global interconnect.

1.2  A read-only memory (ROM) with 9 cells is shown in the figure. All NMOS transistors have the same size and all PMOS transistors have the same size. 1.2.1 Is this a NOR-based ROM or NAND-based ROM? Please write the answer. (1 pts)   1.2.2 Please identify which cell has the fastest read speed and which cell has the longest read delay, in the format of (WL, BL).  (4 pts).    1.2.3 Due to the leakage at the standby mode, the voltage at BLs does not reach full VDD. Which solution below will be able to restore the BL voltage to VDD at the standby mode? (1 pts)    a. Reduce the size of the PMOS transistor    b. Reduce the threshold voltage of the NMOS transistor    c. Reduce the supply voltage VDD    d. Add a keeper at the output of BLs

1.6 Consider the multiplication of two 9-bit numbers A and B, with A = 101101101. Using the booth encoding algorithm, which B value will result in the largest number of partial products? (2 pts) a. 101010101 b. 111111111 c. 100011111 d. 111110101
