Cycle

  1. Clock = T state
  2. Machine - memory access
  3. Instruction - instruction access + decoding + …

Setup Time

the time before the clock high, during which the data must be setup, to avoid data corruption

Hold Time

the time after the clock high, during which the data must be held, to avoid data corruption
