Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a circuit that has a fail-safe mechanism to detect if two specific pins are shorted within an IC. What approaches would you recommend?

💡 Hint: Think about ways to monitor each pin's individual status.

Challenge 2 Hard

Analyze the effects of pin shorting on two different types of ICs: a logic gate and a flip-flop. How would the operational impact differ?

💡 Hint: Consider the nature of outputs in each type of circuit.
