[amp_mcq option1=”Higher” option2=”Lower” option3=”Very low” option4=”None of the mentioned” correct=”option2″]
The correct answer is: B. Lower
BiCMOS has lower standby leakage current than CMOS. This is because the BJTs in BiCMOS are turned off when the circuit is in standby mode, which reduces the overall current draw.
CMOS, on the other hand, uses MOSFETs, which are always on, even when the circuit is in standby mode. This means that CMOS circuits have a higher standby leakage current than BiCMOS circuits.
Here is a more detailed explanation of each option:
- A. Higher
This is incorrect because BiCMOS has lower standby leakage current than CMOS.
- B. Lower
This is the correct answer because BiCMOS has lower standby leakage current than CMOS.
- C. Very low
This is incorrect because BiCMOS does not have a very low standby leakage current. It has a lower standby leakage current than CMOS, but it is still not very low.
- D. None of the mentioned
This is incorrect because BiCMOS does have lower standby leakage current than CMOS.
