Interactive Quizzes

Quick quizzes to reinforce your learning

Question 1

What does setup time ensure?

Data is stable before clock edge
Data is stable after clock edge
Data changes immediately at clock edge

💡 Hint: Consider what the term 'setup' implies.

Question 2

Is clock skew beneficial for timing?

True
False

💡 Hint: Skew means variations - does that help or hurt timing?

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a circuit that meets specific setup and hold times, considering potential violations and proposing solutions.

💡 Hint: Think about the placements of flip-flops and logic gates.

Challenge 2 Hard

Evaluate a given timing diagram and identify violations, proposing at least two different mitigation strategies.

💡 Hint: Look for paths that break timing constraints.
