HDLSS Assignment for PG-DVLSI 2019

This document contains two numerical assignments related to HDLSS (Hardware Description Language Synthesis and Simulation). The first assignment asks students to calculate setup and hold slacks for different flip-flop configurations and find the maximum clock frequency. It also asks students to draw waveform diagrams for a circuit output under different input conditions. The second assignment provides component delay specifications for a circuit that implements the function Y=A+B on an FPGA board. It asks students to calculate path delays, identify the critical path, determine the minimum time to get a valid output, and draw a waveform diagram. Students are instructed to submit their answers via a provided link.

HDLSS Numerical Assignment

PG-DVLSI August 2019 Batch

Assignment 1

Q1. Find out Setup Slack and Hold Slack if U1 is the Launch Flip-Flop and U2 is the capture Flip-Flop.
Assume minimum path delays = 0 ns per path, maximum path delays = 1 ns per path, fclk = 1/(15 ns).

Q2. Find out Setup Slack and Hold Slack if U2 is the Launch Flip-Flop and U1 is the capture Flip-Flop.
Assume minimum path delays = 0 ns per path, maximum path delays = 1 ns per path, fclk = 1/(15 ns).

Q3. Find out the maximum possible clock frequency for the circuit.

Q4. Draw the waveform of output signal Y, assuming the following data:

 Neglect all the delays and violations.


 Clock frequency = 1/(50 ns)
 At t=0 ns in bits of both flip-Flop U1 and U2 are 0, and A = 0. CK is transiting from 0 to 1 (i.e.
posedge event).
 At t=200 ns, input A becomes 1.

Q5. Draw the waveform of output signal Y, assuming the following data:

 Consider all the delays and violations.


 Clock frequency = 1/(50 ns)

posedge event).
 At t=200 ns, input A becomes 1.
