Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Imagine a scenario where the initial floorplan has poor I/O pin placement. Identify three potential issues this could cause in later stages of ASIC design.

💡 Hint: Consider how I/O locations influence routing and performance.

Question 2

Discuss the implications of not performing post-layout extraction, especially regarding timing closure, and suggest how you would address observations of timing violations in a layout.

💡 Hint: Think about the relationship between design accuracy and performance evaluations.
