Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Consider a design where the clock period is 10 ns, the setup time is 2 ns, and data arrives at the flip-flop after 7 ns. What is the slack?

💡 Hint: Calculate slack following the formula.

Challenge 2 Hard

You have a netlist with multiple gates: an AND gate and a D flip-flop. Explain how the output of the AND gate connects as the input to the flip-flop.

💡 Hint: Visualize the connections and flow of information.
