Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Create a Testbench scenario to test the edge cases of a 4-bit Up/Down Counter, handling all inputs.

💡 Hint: Consider what edge cases mean for counting and how reset influences your counter.

Challenge 2 Hard

Discuss how simulation results can mislead designers if not carefully interpreted.

💡 Hint: Think about components that might lag or misrepresent during real use.
