What is the power dissipation for TTL?

power dissipation of a logic circuit is usually defined as the supply power required for the gate to operate with a 50% duty cycle at a specific frequency.


Why would you want to decrease the power consumption of an integrated circuit?

you would want to decrease the power consumption of an integrated circuit to reduce power needed and at the same time reduce power dissipation meaning it will run cooler if overall power is reduced. With some families of logic circuits the voltage must be maintained at 5 volts for proper applications. The voltage applied determines the power that can be used effectively.


Can power dissipation be prevented?

A: All devices have some kind of power dissipation. That is because some quiescent current must flow to keep them alive or functional

What are the significant similarities and differences between work and power?

Both quantities are associated with the generation, distribution, dissipation, and consumption of energy. "Work" is a term used to describe energy in one specific form, namely Mechanical energy. It's defined as the product of a force and a distance. "Power" is the RATE at which energy is generated, distributed, dissipated, or consumed.
