A: I wouldn't call propagation delay that applies to other media. for a PC delay are parasitic in nature mostly layout. But the real and actual delay is inherited from the I/O which is the soul of PC speed. No matter how fast a PC is internally it must service those interrupts and that is really the delay actually

How can Propagation delay be avoided in a parallel adder?

The parallel adder which we use in the digital circuits ,the carry output of each full adder stage is connected to the carry input of the next higher order stage.therefore,the sum and carry outputs of any stage cannot be produced until the input carry occurs; This leads to a time delay in the addition process.This delay is known as carry propagation delay. to the second question the propagation delay can be avoided in the binary parallel adder with the help of look ahead carry generator .............................................................................................................................


What is propagation delay in flip flops?

Propagation Delay In digital logic, every gate has got some finite amount of delay because of which the change in the output is not instantaneous to the change in the input. In simple terms, the times it takes for an input to appear at the output is called the propagation delay. In Figure 6, tPHL, describes the time it takes for an input to cause the output to change from logic-level-high to logic-level-low. Similarly, tPLH, refers to the delay associated when an input change causes the output to change from logic-level-low to logic-level-high. The overall delay is average of these two delays.


What is propogation delay in satellite?

A propagation delay is the amount of time it takes radio waves to travel from the surface of the Earth to the satellite and then back down to the Earth. The calculation of the delay is based upon the altitude and position of the satellite systems.
