Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a digital lock circuit. Design a testbench that simulates various input scenarios, including correct codes, incorrect codes, and unauthorized access attempts. Discuss what outputs you expect.
💡 Hint: Think about all the possible user interactions with the lock.
Discuss the process of implementing fault injection for a communication circuit that uses packet transmission. What types of faults could you introduce, and what would you expect to observe?
💡 Hint: Consider errors that could disrupt the integrity of data transmission.
