Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A circuit has a critical path with a total delay of 15ns and a setup time requirement of 5ns. If the clock period is set to 20ns, does this design meet the setup requirement?

💡 Hint: Compare the total delay with the adjusted clock period to confirm compliance.

Question 2

Explain how you would adjust a design if it showed negative slack in its timing report.

💡 Hint: Think about the ways to enhance circuit performance and redesign strategies.
