An output pad contains a chain of successively larger inverters to drive the (relatively) enormous off-chip capacitance. If the first inverter in the chain has an input capacitance of 20 fF and the off-chip load is 10 pF, how many inverters should be used to drive the load with least delay? Estimate this delay, expressed in FO4 inverter delays.
