Suppose that a ring oscillator contains 301 inverters and the average propogation delay of an inverter is 100 ps. what will be the period of the square wave generated by the oscillator? (b) what is the frequency of oscillator? (c) why should the number of inverters be odd? what could happen if an even number of inverters were used in the ring oscillator?

Agas contained within a piston-cylinder assembly e end nation about same energy states, 1 and 2, where pi 10 bar, v undergoes two processes, a and b, between the sam 0.1 m3, ui-400 kj and p2 1 bar, v2 1.0 m2, u2 200 kj: process a: process from 1 to 2 during which the pressure- volume relation is pv constant process b: constant-volume process from state 1 to a pressure of 2 bar, followed by a linear pressure-volume process to +20 0 state 2 kinetic and potential energy effects can be ignored. for each of the processes a and b, (a) sketch the process on p-v coordinates, (b) evaluate the work, in kj, and (c) evaluate process the heat transfer, in kj
