Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A digital circuit has three paths with delays of 1.2 ns, 1.5 ns, and 1.1 ns. Identify the critical path and explain why it's critical.

💡 Hint: Look for the maximum delay.

Challenge 2 Hard

If the critical path delay is reduced from 2 ns to 1.5 ns without changing the other parameters, recalculate the maximum frequency.

💡 Hint: Think about how altering one effect can make a difference.
