Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You have a schematic of a NAND gate with incorrect PMOS and NMOS connections. How would you diagnose and correct it?

💡 Hint: Draw or visualize the expected configuration to spot discrepancies.

Challenge 2 Hard

Consider the impact of a delay of 10 ns in a logic circuit's overall performance. Discuss how pre-lab preparation can mitigate such issues.

💡 Hint: Think of earlier discussions about the role of propagation delays.
