Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a layout resulted in a 200% increase in propagation delay compared to expected values, outline the steps you would take to troubleshoot and optimize.

💡 Hint: Consider which components in your design could be adjusted to improve performance.

Challenge 2 Hard

A post-layout simulation indicates a power dissipation greater than the expected value. Discuss potential causes and alternative approaches to mitigating this issue.

💡 Hint: Think about the balance between performance and power efficiency.
