Since watching Matt Venn‘s video about flip-flop timing, I have had at the back of my mind the idea of designing my own ASIC flip-flop and doing some simulations to measure its timing parameters. This is partly an excuse to learn how to use Magic and other VLSI design tools, and partly a good way to understand better how the numbers that appear on a flip-flop datasheet relate to what physically happens in the flip-flop.
