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)

Answer / adi
Insert a small buffer to increase the skew between the two
regs. This can be quick fix only in some cases though

use register retiming concept .......
i.e split up comb delay in two paths using a flop
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 4 Yes | 1 No |
Answer / ram
when there is a combo delay which is more than the clock
time period, though all the above can be a solution if the
delay is small, normally they mark it as a multi clock cycle
path.

Answer / guest
Ideally, clock period will be increased (reducing maximum
operation frequency)

What happens to delay if you increase load capacitance?
Calculate rise delay of a 3-input NAND gate driving a 3-input NOR gate through a 6mm long and 0.45m wide metal wire with sheet resistance R = 0.065 / and Cpermicron= 0.25 fF/m. The resistance and capacitance of the unit NMOS are 6.5k and 2.5fF. Use a 3 segment -model for the wire. Consider PMOS and NMOS size of reference inverter as 2 and 1 respectively. Use appropriate sizing for the NAND and NOR gate.
