Question 1

What does metastability refer to in digital circuits?

  • A stable state
  • An uncertain state
  • A known error

💡 Hint: Think about which condition reflects uncertainty.

Question 2

True or False: Setup time is the time after the active clock edge that data must remain stable.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider the timing sequence in circuits.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You are designing a D-Flip-Flop circuit. If the clock period is 10ns and your flip-flop has a t_CQ of 1ns, a t_setup of 2ns, and a t_hold of 1ns, calculate the total time available for combinational logic in between two flip-flops.

💡 Hint: Break down the timing equation carefully.

Question 2

Design a circuit application where metastability should be avoided between two clocks running at different frequencies. Explain components or solutions.

💡 Hint: Think about how signals switch and what happens when they enter different timing zones.
