Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a simple digital circuit using modular design principles and include test points. Describe how this design would facilitate easy debugging.

💡 Hint: Consider how the modules will interact and where testing can give immediate information.

Challenge 2 Hard

Imagine you are debugging a circuit and discover that improper labeling of a signal caused a major failure. Provide a detailed analysis of the impact of this mislabeling on the debugging process.

💡 Hint: Reflect on how much clearer the debugging process would have been with proper labels.
