Learning

Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

What is Static Timing Analysis?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how we can check for timing without actually testing the circuit.

Question 2

Easy

What does Retiming accomplish?

πŸ’‘ Hint: What part of the circuit are we changing?

Question 1

What is the purpose of Static Timing Analysis?

  • To run simulations
  • To analyze timing constraints
  • To duplicate logic elements

πŸ’‘ Hint: Focus on what STA is designed to achieve.

Question 2

Retiming can be described as: True or False?
'A method that alters circuit functionality.'

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember, it's only about motion, not function.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have a circuit design with three paths, A, B, and C, with delays of 10ns, 5ns, and 3ns respectively. How might you apply Retiming to improve overall timing?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Focus on delays and consider shifting where delays are highest.

Question 2

Given that Logic Duplication increases area but improves speed, how would you justify its use in a design requiring high speed and low power?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the trade-offs between area, power, and performance.
