Question 62
ECNAT2 marksNeeds review
In the circuit shown below, the AND gate has a propagation delay of 1 ns. The edge-triggered flip-flops have a set-up time of 2 ns, a hold-time of 0 ns, and a clock-to-Q delay of 2 ns.
The maximum clock frequency (in MHz, rounded off to the nearest integer) such that there are no setup violations is __________.
