Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a digital circuit where the critical path has a delay of 10ns, discuss how retiming can be applied to improve the design, looking at specific flip-flops that could be moved.

💡 Hint: Analyze where delays accumulate and which elements influence these delays.

Challenge 2 Hard

Consider a scenario where retiming increased delays on a non-critical path. What analysis would you perform to assess the overall impact on the circuit design?

💡 Hint: Examine both theoretical and practical implications of your retiming changes.
