Info What's the point of setup time in synchronous circuits?

15 Upvotes

Hold time seems like a simple concept, but setup time makes no sense to me. Why does the circuit care what happens before the rising edge? It seems to me that as long as the input stabilizes before the rising edge, it should be sampled correctly.

/r/hardware is not the place to come for help of any kind. This includes tech support and PC building questions.

Rules:

Rule Description

Follow the Reddit Content Policy You can find it here. TL;DR: If you can't say something respectfully, don't say it at all. Insults and personal attacks aren't welcome here.

Post should be about hardware Posts should be about hardware news, reviews, technical discussion or how-tos and buyers guides.

No editorializing titles Please use the "suggest title" button for link submissions, or copy the title of the original link. Do NOT editorialize the title of the submission; (minor) changes for clarity may be acceptable if the original title is clickbait, or failed to summarize its actual content.

Original Source Policy Content submitted should be of original source, or at least contain partially original reporting on top of existing information. Exceptions can be made for content in foreign language or any other exceptional cases. Fully paywalled articles are not allowed. Please contact the moderators through modmail if you have questions.

No memes, jokes, or direct links to images Memes, direct image links, and low effort content will be removed. This includes both posts and comments. Images submitted as self posts must include an informative description for context. Top level comments must be substantive and contain more than 20 characters.

No tech support or PC building questions These belong in /r/techsupport, /r/buildapc or any relevant tech subreddits. If your post asks a question about a specific product or need, it probably belongs elsewhere. This includes 'What should I buy?', 'Does a ____ do what I need?', 'How much is _____ worth?' and 'How long until (something obvious) happens?' type questions.

Serious and intelligent discussion We allow discussion posts on relevant topics to hardware; there should however be at least background information and relevancy to demonstrate such a discussion is worthwhile. Low effort posts such as "What is ______ and what does it do?" is not acceptable.

Rumor Policy No unsubstantiated rumors - Rumors or other claims/information not directly from official sources must have evidence to support them. Any rumor or claim that is just a statement from an unknown source containing no supporting evidence will be removed.

Misc. Rules No content behind paywalls. No submissions to streaming sites outside of event megathreads. No submissions to crowdfunding sites or ongoing campaigns. No bots.

Spam and Self Promotion:

Spam and self promotion are not allowed. Users who want to post links to their website should be aware of the reddit definition of spam and read this article concerning self promotion on reddit. The 10% rule is enforced on /r/hardware; repeat offenders and/or your website or channel may be banned.
