← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when parasitic capacitance increases in integrated circuits?
A)Signal propagation delay increases✓
B)Power supply noise decreases
C)Maximum clock frequency increases
D)Electromagnetic interference decreases
💡 Explanation
Increased parasitic capacitance causes signal propagation delay because the charging/discharging time of the parasitic capacitors increases; therefore, signals respond slower, rather than noise decreasing or clock frequency increasing, which need faster capacitance response.
