Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a schematic with typical values for an inverter, calculate expected propagation delay factoring in parasitic capacitance. If observed delays are double the expected, suggest potential layout adjustments.
💡 Hint: Use the relationship between capacitance, resistance, and time delay.
You encounter LVS mismatches in a layout indicating that several transistors are unrecognized. Outline a strategy to debug this issue effectively.
💡 Hint: Error messages will guide you to specific mismatched areas.
