Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a circuit with a maximum expected clock frequency of 100 MHz, calculate the minimum setup time required if the maximum data propagation delay is 5 ns.

💡 Hint: Use the formula for setup time based on clock frequency.

Question 2

Analyze why a circuit design would have negative slack in its critical path and suggest two modifications that could resolve this issue.

💡 Hint: Think about both layout changes and component choices.
