Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a VLSI circuit with a required clock speed of 100MHz. Given that the critical path has a delay of 12ns, discuss how this affects your design considerations.

💡 Hint: Consider redesigns that shorten path lengths.

Challenge 2 Hard

Explain how you would apply Clock Tree Analysis in a large circuit with several flip-flops, ensuring that clock skew is minimized.

💡 Hint: Think about how to manage distribution networks.
