Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a simple floorplan for a small ASIC that includes at least four standard cells and two I/O pins. Discuss how you would approach I/O pin placement relative to the core functionalities.

💡 Hint: Think about accessibility and functionality.

Question 2

Explain how parasitic extraction can influence the need for redesign during the timing closure process. Provide an example discussing the results of excessive parasitic capacitance.

💡 Hint: Imagine how added capacitance can slow down signal transitions.
