Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Suppose you have a D-Flip-Flop with a t_CQ of 50 ps, a t_setup of 30 ps, and a t_hold of 20 ps. If the clock period is 1 ns, calculate how much time remains for the combinational logic. Discuss potential implications if the t_setup is violated.

💡 Hint: Break it down by considering how each timing parameter fits within the clock cycle.

Challenge 2 Hard

Design a test bench for a D-Flip-Flop to analyze its behavior under various clock and data input scenarios. What parameters will you measure and why?

💡 Hint: Consider what each measurement tells you about the flip-flop's performance.
