Which risk increases when a microcontroller's clock frequency exceeds its maximum rated value?

💡 Explanation

Setup and hold time violations increase because exceeding the clock frequency pushes the propagation delays above the rated values, generating race conditions. Therefore timing problems arise, rather than metal migration which is about current density.
