Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

In a production line of 1000 circuits, if 850 are functional, what is the yield? How does implementing scan chains change this?

💡 Hint: Review how yield is calculated.

Challenge 2 Hard

Imagine a scenario in a production factory where a design change has decreased reliability. How might scan chains assist in restoring reliability?

💡 Hint: Focus on how increased testing can uncover design flaws.
