What is the main purpose of formal verification?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how it differs from traditional testing methods.
Question 2.
Name one advantage of formal verification over simulation.
Show hintHide hint
Consider coverage during testing.
3Question 3.
What does formal verification ensure in VLSI designs?
- It runs multiple tests
- It proves correctness against specifications
- It only checks timing
Show hintHide hint
Think about the definition of formal verification.
4Question 4.
True or false: Formal verification only tests a limited set of inputs.

- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider the nature of both methods.
Question 5.
Describe a scenario where a failure in VLSI design could lead to catastrophic results. How could formal verification prevent this?
Show hintHide hint
Consider where VLSI is critically applied.
Question 6.
Given a complex design with multiple states, outline how formal verification would deal with state explosion during the verification process.
Show hintHide hint
Think of breaking down the design into manageable parts.
