Question 1.
What are formal methods?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how they are different from simulation.
Question 2.
Define equivalence checking.
Show hintHide hint
Consider what changes might happen in synthesis.
3Question 3.
What are formal methods primarily used for?
- Simulation
- Verification

Show hintHide hint
Think about how they ensure designs meet specifications.
4Question 4.
True or False: Equivalence checking can identify changes during synthesis.
- True
- False

Remember what equivalence checking compares.
Question 5.
Discuss how you would apply both equivalence checking and property checking in a hypothetical chip design project. What steps would you take?
Show hintHide hint
Focus on the sequential steps post-design synthesis.
Question 6.
