5. (15 points) In the following circuit, modules A, B, C and D are combinational circuits, with the delay of each module showing in the figure. Assume wire and registers have no delay. a) The setup time for the registers is 5 ns, and hold time is 8 ns. What is the fastest clock rate to avoid setup time and hold time violations? b) Use pipeline to maximize the performance of the circuit. What is your throughout and latency? Register R1 Module B Module A 15 ns 20 ns Module C Module D 10ns 25 ns Register R2
