You have a digital circuit with a series of logic gates. If the propagation delay through each gate is 10 nanoseconds and there are five gates in series, what is the total propagation delay for a signal passing through this circuit?

The total propagation delay for a signal passing through this circuit can be calculated by adding up the propagation delays of each gate.
Given:
Propagation delay of each gate = 10 nanoseconds
Number of gates in series = 5
To find the total propagation delay, we can simply multiply the propagation delay of each gate by the number of gates:
Total Propagation delay = Propagation delay of each gate × Number of gates = 10 nanoseconds × 5 = 50 nanoseconds.
Therefore, the total propagation delay for a signal passing through this circuit is 50 nanoseconds.
