Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Create a digital circuit and identify all paths. Measure delays using hypothetical values, then calculate the critical path.
💡 Hint: Start with simple logic gates and build complexity.
Given a circuit with various delays, find the delay that will limit performance the most, and justify your reasoning.
💡 Hint: This could be the sum of individual gate delays!
