Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design a testbench for a simple 2:1 multiplexer in VHDL. Ensure that you cover all possible input combinations.
💡 Hint: Use the structure from previous testbenches as a template.
In Verilog, write a testbench for a counter that counts from 0 to 3 and then resets. Include timing control in your testbench.
💡 Hint: Think of how counters operate and what conditions trigger resetting.
