4Question 4.
True or False: Timing simulation does not consider propagation delays.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Remember what timing simulation aims to achieve.
Question 5.
Formulate a scenario where a timing violation could occur and discuss how you would set up a timing simulation to identify it.
Show hintHide hint
Think about the importance of signal timing in digital circuits.
Question 6.
Design a basic testbench for a simple RTL module that counts clock cycles, incorporating assertions to check the proper counting.
Show hintHide hint
Focus on what inputs to apply and how to assert the expected output.
