Question 1

What is metastability?

  • A state causing clear outputs
  • A state where outputs are uncertain
  • A correct functioning state

💡 Hint: Think of a flip-flop's behavior when input is changed at the wrong time.

Question 2

True or False: A flip-flop can enter a metastable state if the data changes during the hold time.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider the timing constraints for data inputs.
