Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a circuit that integrates BIST for a simple flip flop. Discuss the potential complexities and how you will ensure high fault coverage.

💡 Hint: Consider what fault types you might face in a flip flop and how you can accommodate them in your design.

Challenge 2 Hard

Evaluate a hypothetical mixed-signal BIST setup for a sensor. Analyze its effectiveness and suggest improvements.

💡 Hint: Reflect on mixed signal characteristics and how they differ from digital-only systems.
