Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A design requires a D-Flip-Flop with a t_CQ of 120 ps, a t_setup of 80 ps, and a t_hold of 30 ps. If your clock period is 1 ns, how much time is left for other circuit computations?
💡 Hint: Calculate total timing needs and subtract from total clock period.
During simulations, identify factors that could lead to metastability in your circuit design. Propose solutions to mitigate this issue.
💡 Hint: Consider how timing adjustments affect circuit performance.
