Given a schematic where multiple paths have similar delays, develop a strategy to identify the critical path effectively.
💡 Hint: Start by observing which path's delays account for longer durations.
You have a circuit running at 100MHz, but your critical path indicates a maximum of 80MHz. Propose changes to achieve the faster speed.
💡 Hint: Look for ways to reduce paths or their complexity.
