Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a D-Flip-Flop with a specified t_CQ, t_setup, and t_hold, calculate the maximum data propagation delay allowed in a digital circuit using this flip-flop.

💡 Hint: Ensure that all timing values fit harmoniously within a single clock cycle.

Challenge 2 Hard

Imagine designing a digital system where multiple flip-flops could face metastability due to race conditions. Propose a countermeasure to mitigate this issue.

💡 Hint: Think about ways to create clear boundaries for signal timing to allow recovery.
