STA-1

Consider the flip-flop circuit shown in the diagram, which acts as a "divide-by-2" clock frequency divider. The timing parameters for the flip-flop are as follows:

  • Setup Time (Tsetup​): 6 ns

  • Hold Time (Thold​): 2 ns

  • Clock-to-Q Delay (Tclk−q​): 10 ns

  • Combinational Logic Delay (dly): 0 ns

Which of the following statements correctly describes the timing performance of this circuit?
