What is "setup time" and "hold time" with respect to flip-flops?
Correct! Well done.
Incorrect.
The correct answer is A) Setup time is the minimum time the data input must be stable before the clock edge; hold time is the minimum time the data input must remain stable after the clock edge, both required for the flip-flop to reliably capture the correct value
Correct Answer
Setup time is the minimum time the data input must be stable before the clock edge; hold time is the minimum time the data input must remain stable after the clock edge, both required for the flip-flop to reliably capture the correct value
Violating setup or hold time requirements can cause a flip-flop to enter a metastable or incorrect state, so digital designs must ensure data signals are stable for the required windows around each clock edge.
