Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Modify the VHDL code to include a maximum and minimum limit for the counter. Discuss how you would prevent the counter from going beyond these limits.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about adding IF conditions around your counting logic.

Question 2

Create a testbench for the Up/Down counter. What specific test cases would you include to fully validate functionality?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider edge cases where signals may change quickly.
