Computer Science Homework Help. New York University Computer Science Clocking a Circuit Frequency

 

I’m working on a Computer Science question and need guidance to help me study.

Given the circuit below the fastest frequency it can be clocked is MHz. (Enter answer as whole number)

Assume that the all inputs are generated from the output of a flip-flop, but unlike this flip-flop the complement is not available and must go through a NOT gate first. Below are the characteristics of the gates and flip-flops in ps:

Type Prop Contam Setup Hold
NOT 12 10
AND 30+5/input 25+3/input
OR 30+7/input 25+4/input
DFF 40 25 15 10
