Question 1.
What are testbenches used for in RTL verification?
Show hintHide hint
Think about the inputs and outputs of the design.
Question 2.
Name one advantage of using assertions in Verilog.
Show hintHide hint
Recall how assertions function in the design.
3Question 3.
What is the main purpose of a testbench?
- Apply test inputs to the design
- Generate random inputs
- Analyze output results
Show hintHide hint
Consider what a testbench is fundamentally used for.
4Question 4.
True or False: Assertions only check the output of a design during simulation.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Reflect on what assertions verify.
Question 5.
Design a simple testbench in Verilog for a 2-input AND gate, ensuring both directed and random input testing.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how both types of stimuli could be implemented together.
Question 6.
Reflect on a scenario in which relying solely on statement coverage might compromise design integrity. Create an example that illustrates this flaw.
Show hintHide hint
Consider different logical branches and their real implications.
