  • Question
  • What is the difference between setup time and hold time?


  • Options
  • A. Setup time occurs after the active clock edge, hold time occurs before the active clock edge.
  • B. Setup time occurs before the active clock edge, hold time occurs after the active clock edge.
  • C. Setup time and hold time both occur at the active clock edge.

  • Correct Answer
  • Setup time occurs before the active clock edge, hold time occurs after the active clock edge.
