Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a scenario where after synthesis, an equivalence checker fails to find equivalence between RTL and gate-level netlist. Discuss potential issues that might arise in the final product.

💡 Hint: Reflect on what happens when expected behaviors change.

Question 2

Describe how you would approach a situation where a tool claimed equivalence but concerns were raised about specific edge cases potentially not being addressed.

💡 Hint: Think of verification strategies that support thorough checking.
