2. Medium scale integration has ____________

a) ten logic gates
b) fty logic gates
c) hundred logic gates
d) thousands logic gates

View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Small scale integration has one or more logic gate. Further improved technology is
medium scale integration which consists of hundred logic gates. Large scale integration has
thousand logic gates.

3. The di culty in achieving high doping concentration leads to ____________

a) error in concentration
b) error in variation
c) error in doping
d) distribution error

View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: As photolithography comes closer to the fundamental law of optics, achieving high
accuracy in doping concentration becomes di cult, which leads to error due to variation.

4. _________ is used to deal with e ect of variation.

a) chip level technique
b) logic level technique
c) switch level technique
d) system level technique 
View Answer
 Answer: d

Explanation: Designers must simulate multiple fabrication process or use system level technique
for dealing with e ects of variation.

5. As die size shrinks, the complexity of making the photomasks ____________

a) increases
b) decreases
c) remains the same
d) cannot be determined

View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: As the die size shrinks due to scaling, the number of die per wafer increases and the
complexity of making the photomasks increases rapidly.

6. ______ architecture is used to design VLSI.

a) system on a device
b) single open circuit
c) system on a chip
d) system on a circuit

View Answer

Answer: c

Explanation: SoC that is system on a chip architecture is used to design the very high level
integrated circuit.

7. What is the design ow of VLSI system?

 
i. architecture design
ii. market requirement
iii. logic design
iv. HDL coding

a) ii-i-iii-iv
b) iv-i-iii-ii
c) iii-ii-i-iv
d) i-ii-iii-iv

View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The order of the design ow of VLSI circuit is market requirement, architecture
design, logic design, HDL coding and then veri cation.

8. ______ is used in logic design of VLSI.

a) LIFO
b) FIFO
c) FILO
d) LILO

View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: First in rst out (FIFO) technique and nite state machine technique is used in the
logic design of the VLSI circuits.

9. Which provides higher integration density?
a) switch transistor logic
b) transistor bu er logic
c) transistor transistor logic
d) circuit level logic

View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Transistor-transistor logic o ers higher integration density and it became the rst
integrated circuit revolution.

10. Physical and electrical speci cation is given in ____________

a) architectural design
b) logic design
c) system design
d) functional design

View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Functional design de nes the major functional units of the system, interconnections,
physical and electrical speci cations.

11. Which is the high level representation of VLSI design?

a) problem statement
b) logic design
c) HDL program
d) functional design

View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Problem statement is a high level representation of the system. Performance,
functionality and physical dimensions are considered here.

12. Gate minimization technique is used to simplify the logic.

a) true

b) false

View Answer
 Answer: a

Explanation: Gate minimization technique is used to nd the simplest, smallest and e ective
implementation of the logic.
