What is setup time?
💡 Hint: Think about when you need to secure the data.
True or False: Hold time is the minimum time that data must be stable after the active clock edge.
💡 Hint: Refer to the definition of hold time.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design a circuit that implements both setup and hold time constraints effectively. Discuss potential errors that might occur if these constraints are not met.
💡 Hint: Consider common sequences of signal changes alongside clock signals.
You have a flip-flop with a setup time of 20 ns and a hold time of 10 ns. If data changes at 25 ns after a clock edge, what issues could arise?
💡 Hint: Revisit the definitions of setup and hold time to apply.
