Topic: Digital Electronics
Which type of timing violation will occur, If a digital IC is operated at clock frequency which is higher than its specified maximum clock frequency?
- A. Hold violation
- B. Setup violation
- C. Propagation delay
- D. All of above
Answer: B. Setup violation
Explanation: Based on the official answer key, the correct option is (b). Operating at a higher clock frequency reduces the clock period, making it difficult for the data to arrive and stabilize before the next active clock edge, resulting in a setup time violation.
