Question:

Consider the dynamic memory cell of Figure 5.6. Assume that C = 50 femtofarads (10-15 F) and that leakage current through the transistor is about 9 picoamperes (10-12 A). The voltage across the capacitor when it is fully charged is equal to 4.5 V. The cell must be refreshed before this voltage drops below 3 V. Estimate the minimum refresh rate.
