Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You are designing a D-Flip-Flop circuit. If the clock period is 10ns and your flip-flop has a t_CQ of 1ns, a t_setup of 2ns, and a t_hold of 1ns, calculate the total time available for combinational logic in between two flip-flops.

💡 Hint: Break down the timing equation carefully.

Challenge 2 Hard

Design a circuit application where metastability should be avoided between two clocks running at different frequencies. Explain components or solutions.

💡 Hint: Think about how signals switch and what happens when they enter different timing zones.
