Those timing paths, which are very hard to meet in timing are called timing critical paths. They can be divided into setup and hold timing ...

Setup and hold checks ensure that the finite state machine works in the way as designed. In essence, whole of the timing analysis, be it s...

There can be 4 cases of latch-to-flop timing paths as discussed below: 1. Positive level-sensitive latch to positive edge-triggered regi...

Problem: 100 latches (either all positive or all negative) are placed in series (figure 1). How many cycles of latency will it introduce?...

We often encounter people argue that hold check is frequency independent. However, it is only partially true. This condition is true onl...

Definition of multicycle paths : By definition, a multi-cycle path is one in which data launched from one flop is allowed (through archi...

In digital designs, each and every flip-flop has some restrictions related to the data with respect to the clock in the form of window...
