Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a circuit path with a clock speed of 50 MHz, a setup time of 5 ns, and a total data delay of 4 ns, calculate the slack. Is your timing rule met?

💡 Hint: Start with knowing that the clock period is the reciprocal of the frequency.

Question 2

Explain how you would address a design identified with negative slack in its timing report. What adjustments could be made?

💡 Hint: Consider both timing and structural changes that could help.
