Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a digital circuit with a critical path consisting of three flip-flops. The setup time is 10 ns, and the worst-way propagation delay across the combinational logic is 25 ns. Calculate the minimum clock period required.

💡 Hint: Use the formula: Clock Period > Setup Time + Maximum Delay.

Question 2

Given a timing report for a circuit, analyze it and identify whether the circuit meets its setup timing. The report states: Arrival time is 20 ns, required time is 25 ns.

💡 Hint: Calculate the Slack: Slack = Required Time - Arrival Time.
