Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Evaluate a design where clock skew exceeds acceptable limits. Describe the design adjustments that need to be made to correct this issue.

💡 Hint: Consider aspects of the design that influence timing.

Challenge 2 Hard

Imagine a VLSI chip that experiences both setup and hold violations due to poor clock skew management. Outline a strategy for redesigning the Clock Tree Synthesis to enhance performance.

💡 Hint: Focus on how restructuring the tree layout contributes to minimized delay.
