Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You are tasked with optimizing a circuit that frequently experiences timing violations during simulations. Using STA tools, outline the steps you would take to identify and resolve these issues.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the relationship between the circuit layout, timing constraints, and critical path analysis.

Question 2

Describe a scenario where using STA tools would prevent costly design mistakes in a high-frequency circuit.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Reflect on the consequences of missing timing requirements in high-performance designs.
