maximum freq of operation of a circuit

hi all , is the maximum frequency of operation of a sequential circuit determined wholly by its setup analysis eqn ....or are there any other factors that have a bearing too??

Thanks Manan

If you express the max frequency as the time of a clock period, it must be longer than the sum of:

clock-to-Q delay of a flip-flop or register, plus combinatorial delay from Q to any D input plus set-up time on the D input plus worst-case cycle-to-cycle jitter of the clock.
