Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Consider a flip-flop with a setup time requirement of 10 ns. If the data changes 8 ns before the clock edge, what steps would you take to resolve this issue?

💡 Hint: Think about how to effectively manage timing within the constraints.

Challenge 2 Hard

In a scenario where retiming is used but still results in setup violations, analyze how additional logic optimization could be employed to improve the circuit's timing. Discuss your approach.

💡 Hint: Focus on the performance attributes of the logic gates involved.
