Question

The advantage of BiCMOS circuit is that it gives _____________

(a) Large fan-out

(b) Large fan-in

(c) Small fan-in

(d) Small fan-out

I got this question in my homework.

I'd like to ask this question from BiCMOS Logic Circuits topic in chapter Logic Families of Digital Circuits

Answer 1

Right answer is (a) Large fan-out

Easiest explanation: Fan-out is the measure of the maximum number of inputs that a single gate output can feed. BiCMOS circuits are particularly useful for logic with large fan-out (large capacitive load).
