Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have a choice between two standard cell libraries for your VLSI design: Library A is optimized for speed, while Library B is optimized for area. Discuss the implications of choosing one library over the other for a portable device that requires low power consumption.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the specific requirements of the application.

Question 2

Given a circuit design that suffers from high wire delays, propose some physical design adjustments that could alleviate this issue. Consider the implications of your suggestions.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the trade-offs associated with those adjustments.
