Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Explain how a circuit’s performance might change from pre-layout to post-layout simulation. Discuss factors that would account for discrepancies.

💡 Hint: Think of all the additional elements that come into play when laying out the circuit.

Question 2

Design a simple testbench for a 2-input NAND gate. List the parameters you would need to measure during post-layout simulation.

💡 Hint: Consider what conditions show whether the NAND gate operates correctly.
