2.3 - Key Timing Rules for Memory Circuits

Learning

Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

Define clock-to-output delay.

💡 Hint: Think about how quickly an output changes after a triggering event.

Question 2

Easy

What is setup time?

💡 Hint: Consider how long data needs to be steady before it gets sampled.

Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What does clock-to-output delay (t_CQ) measure?

  • Time from the active clock edge to output change
  • Time before the clock edge occurs
  • Time after the output stabilizes

💡 Hint: Remember, it's all about timing after the clock signal.

Question 2

Metastability in digital circuits occurs when conditions violate setup or hold time.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how timing impacts reliability.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A design requires a D-Flip-Flop with a t_CQ of 120 ps, a t_setup of 80 ps, and a t_hold of 30 ps. If your clock period is 1 ns, how much time is left for other circuit computations?

💡 Hint: Calculate total timing needs and subtract from total clock period.

Question 2

During simulations, identify factors that could lead to metastability in your circuit design. Propose solutions to mitigate this issue.

💡 Hint: Consider how timing adjustments affect circuit performance.
