Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You find a logic gate whose output should be HIGH but is stuck at LOW. How would you use short circuits to diagnose the problem?

💡 Hint: Step through potential causes starting from the output back to inputs.

Challenge 2 Hard

During troubleshooting, you discover a pin is floating. What diagnostic steps will you take to resolve the issue?

💡 Hint: Examine both the physical connections and the intended logic states of connected ICs.
