Hye, I have problem to understand the example of how to calculate dynamic power consumption from my class.

Here is the question



Where here is the suggested answer



Part where I did not understand:

How they relate P(A+B=1) = 1 - P(A.B=0 )
How they relate P(Y=0)= P(A+B=1) x P(C=1)

Thanks for the help

I'm not familiar with the notation your author is using here. Perhaps you could explain it (and in doing so there is actually a good chance that you will get struck by lightning and realize the answer to your own confusion -- happens a lot).

The question asking about dynamic power consumption of Y=(A+B).C

Where P(A=1) is probability of input A equal to 1[HIGH], that means if the input equal to 0[LOW] it is "1-0.2=0.8" probability to get that, and so on for input B and input C.

I know the formula is P=CL * (Probability of output transisition form 0 to 1) * VDD^2 * frequency.

I just did not get the relation as I mention in my previous post.
