Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Describe an instance when a designer could face issues if the timing constraints are not correctly set during the initialization phase. What might go wrong?

💡 Hint: Think about signal flow and synchronization in circuits.

Challenge 2 Hard

Analyze the importance of loading both the synthesized netlist and technology library before the design initialization. What could happen if one of these was overlooked?

💡 Hint: Consider how each component contributes to the total design understanding.
