Question 1

What is propagation delay?

  • The time to stabilize after an input change
  • The time it takes to change input signals
  • Total time taken for signal to travel through a gate

💡 Hint: Consider how long it takes for a signal to settle.

Question 2

True or False: Propagation delay can be ignored in digital circuit design.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about the importance of timing in circuits.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a logic circuit with at least five gates. Calculate the total propagation delay given each gate's delay is as follows: AND (3ns), OR (2ns), NOT (1ns).

💡 Hint: Sum the delays of the gates in the series operation.

Question 2

Explain why a carry look-ahead adder significantly improves upon a standard ripple carry adder in terms of speed.

💡 Hint: Consider the order of operations in propagation.
