- No. You must agonise. Particularly important are:
- - i/o voltage levels if you change ttl to/from cmos
- - hold times for flip flops, if you change to a faster family
- - edge rates causing ringing and false triggering, if the two
- way propagation delay along a track is > the rise or fall time
- (assume propagation velocity = 0.45c)
- - power supply spikes, if there is poor quality decoupling
- - ground bounce
