Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A mixed-signal system processes audio signals accompanied by a digital clock that introduces jitter. Discuss methods to mitigate this issue effectively.

💡 Hint: Think about physical layout and system architecture.

Challenge 2 Hard

Analyze how a failure in managing clock domain crossings led to data corruption in a digital device. What preventive measures could have been implemented?

💡 Hint: Consider how data must be aligned correctly during transfers.
