Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A circuit requires a setup time of 10ns, has a propagation delay of 6ns, and the clock period is 15ns. Can the data be reliably latched?
💡 Hint: Calculate the total time and compare it to the setup time.
In a system with a clock period of 20ns, a flip-flop has a setup time of 8ns and hold time of 5ns. If the signal changes at 12ns after the clock edge, what will the outcome be?
💡 Hint: Reflect on the definition of hold time.
