Question

Timing and Hazards: Consider the following combinational circuit: A. Suppose that each component in the circuit has a propagation delay of exactly $10 \mathrm{~ns}$ and negligible rise and fall times. Suppose initially that all four inputs are at 1 for a long time, and then the input $D$ changes to 0 . Fill in the following waveforms, and circle any glitches in the output $Q$ due to hazards. B. Show how to eliminate the hazard(s) using a Karnaugh map and adding the least number of prime implicant(s). C. Redraw the circuit and show the least additional hardware needed to implement the hazard-correcting implicants, using only NOTs and two-input ANDs and ORs. D. Explain in words from your circuit diagram why any glitches of the original circuit have been eliminated.

Step 1

Since the input D changes to 0, we need to consider the propagation delays for each component in the circuit and determine the output Q at each time step.  Show more…
