Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Consider a VLSI circuit with a defined clock period of 5 ns. If the setup time for the flip-flops is 2 ns and the signal propagation delay is 4 ns, calculate the slack for a critical path.

💡 Hint: Use the formula for slack calculation.

Challenge 2 Hard

Discuss how variances in manufacturing can affect setup times and what a designer can do to mitigate these effects.

💡 Hint: Consider how designs can adjust for variability.
