- The minimum time interval after the clock edge during which inputs must remain stable to ensure correct operation.
- -- Propagation Delay
- The time delay between the input signal application and the corresponding output change.
- -- Clock Pulse Timing
- The minimum duration for which clock signals must remain high and low to ensure reliable triggering.
- -- Asynchronous Input Active Pulse Width
- The minimum time duration an asynchronous input must stay active for the output to respond properly.
- -- FlipFlop Applications
