Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You have simulated a 4-bit up/down counter and found that it fails to reset correctly. Outline how you would approach debugging this issue based on your simulation results.

💡 Hint: Focus on how RESET is defined in your logic.

Challenge 2 Hard

Discuss the implications of a design going straight to FPGA implementation without prior simulation. Provide potential risks and consequences.

💡 Hint: Consider cost and time factors in hardware projects.
