Setup time is the minimum time required for the input signal to be stable before the clock edge, while hold time is the minimum time the input signal must be held stable after the clock edge.
Setup time ensures that the input signal has settled before the clock edge to avoid timing violations.
Hold time ensures that the input signal remains stable after the clock edge to prevent data corruption.
Examples: In a flip-f...
Charge sharing among capacitors refers to the redistribution of charge between capacitors when they are connected in parallel.
Charge sharing occurs when capacitors are connected in parallel and have different initial voltages.
The capacitors will redistribute charge until their voltages are equalized.
This phenomenon can impact circuit performance and should be considered during analog layout design.
Example: In a sa...

- Q2. Find the voltage through the resistor
- Ans.
To find the voltage through a resistor, use Ohm's Law: V = I * R
Use Ohm's Law: V = I * R, where V is the voltage, I is the current flowing through the resistor, and R is the resistance of the resistor
If the current flowing through the resistor is 2A and the resistance is 5 ohms, the voltage would be V = 2 * 5 = 10V
Make sure to use the correct units for current (Amps) and resistance (Ohms) to get the voltage in Volts

- Q4. He then asked a question on transient analysis ie 2 capacitors connected in series with a switch which closes at t>0 with the voltage across the 2 capacitors being 3 v and asked to find the total voltge
- Ans.

Capacitors in series share the same charge but have different voltages across them.
The total voltage across capacitors in series is the sum of individual voltages.
If two capacitors, C1 and C2, are in series, V_total = V1 + V2.
For example, if C1 has 2V and C2 has 1V, then V_total = 2V + 1V = 3V.
When the switch closes at ...
