Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a simple 4-bit binary counter using Verilog. Explain how you would structure the module with inputs, outputs, and coding logic.

💡 Hint: Use clear naming conventions for your inputs and outputs for easier understanding.

Challenge 2 Hard

Evaluate the effectiveness of using VHDL for a project requiring extensive simulations versus rapid prototyping where Verilog would be preferred. Discuss the trade-offs.

💡 Hint: Consider critical differences in verbosity and how they impact simulation time.
