34.
A 4 bit synchronous counter has flip flops having propagation delay of 50 ns each and AND gates having propagation delay of 20 ns each. The maximum frequency of clock pulses can be
20 MHz
50 MHz
14.3 MHz
5 MHz
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Maximum delay = 50 + 20 = 70 x 10-9 s.

Hence .

Yes, @Ska.

There are two AND gates having a delay of 40 ns, so the total delay will be 90 ns.

The answer will be 11.1 MHZ.

shouldn't max delay be ( 50 + 20 + 20 ) ns? Please explain.
