Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You are tasked with verifying an RTL design using both functional and timing simulation. Describe the steps you would take and how you would set up your testbench for both types.
💡 Hint: Think of both what data inputs you need and the timing considerations that must be accounted for.
Given a fictitious digital design that seems to fail during timing simulation, how would you use assertions to help debug the issue?
💡 Hint: Consider what conditions you would want to ensure hold and timing performances.
