Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
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.
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.
