Hi
Almost everyone knows what is setup and hold time is and how they are considered in Fmax calculation and so on.
I am looking for some answers in terms of physics.
Why there should be a setup and hold time need to be there.
Typical answer would be it is there to avoid metastability and violations and so on..
But I would know in terms of capacitance and why CMOS circuit fails to pick up the right data when setup or hold time violated. (with the details of mosfet devices)
Thanks in advance
