Setup Slack Calculation With Jitter

In a synchronous digital circuit, two flip-flops (FF1 to FF2) operate on a 1 GHz clock (Tclk = 1000ps). The timing parameters are:

  • Clock-to-Q delay (Tcq): 150ps

  • Combinational logic delay (Tlogic): 650ps

  • Setup time requirement (Tsetup): 80ps

  • Clock Skew (Capture edge delay - Launch edge delay): -50ps (Capture clock arrives 50ps early)

  • Clock Jitter constraint: 40ps

    Calculate the setup slack for this path.
