Give two ways of converting a two input NAND gate to an inverter
Given a circuit, draw its exact timing response.
What are set up time & hold time constraints? What do they signify? Which one is critical for estimating maximum clock frequency of a circuit?
Give a circuit to divide frequency of clock cycle by two
Design a divide-by-3 sequential circuit with 50% duty circle.
Suppose you have a combinational circuit between two registers driven by a clock. What will you do if the delay of the combinational circuit is greater than your clock signal? (You can't resize the combinational circuit transistors)
The answer to the above question is breaking the combinational circuit and pipelining it. What will be affected if you do this?
What are the different Adder circuits you studied?
Give the truth table for a Half Adder. Give a gate level implementation of the same.
