An IC logic gate draws 1.8 mA when its output is HIGH and 3.8 mA when its output is LOW. Assume a 50% duty cycle and calculate the average I_cccurrent drain. A) 3.8 mA B) 2.8 mA C) 2.0 mA D) 1.8 mA

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The average current drain can be calculated by taking the average of the current when the output is HIGH and when it is LOW. Given a 50% duty cycle, the average is (1.8 mA + 3.8 mA) / 2 = 2.8 mA.
