What does timing verification ensure in VLSI designs?
💡 Hint: Consider the implications of timing versus overall functionality.
True or False: Hold time is the time after the clock edge where the input can change.
💡 Hint: Think about what a stable signal means during this period.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a VLSI design that has a setup time of 5ns and a clock period of 10ns. If the data signal changes at 6ns, will it potentially violate the setup time?
💡 Hint: Calculate the stable time required before the next edge.
You have a circuit with a clock skew of 3ns. How would this affect a design with a hold time requirement of 2ns? Describe what changes could be made to rectify any potential issues.
💡 Hint: Reflect on how timing variances impact data stability.
