Question 1.
What does an ADC do?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how digital devices read real-world information.
Question 2.
What does DAC stand for?
Show hintHide hint
Consider what process reverses the function of an ADC.
3Question 3.
What is the role of system interconnects in SoCs?
- To manage power
- To connect IP cores for communication
- To determine layout
- To ensure timing integrity
Show hintHide hint
Focus on the main purpose behind their use.
4Question 4.
True or False: Mixed-signal buses can carry both analog and digital signals.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider what mixed-signal means.
Question 5.
Evaluate a scenario where using a single type of communication protocol in a mixed-signal SoC leads to data loss. Discuss how different protocols might prevent this.
Show hintHide hint
Reflect on the consequences of unoptimized designs.
Question 6.
Design a conceptual layout for a hypothetical SoC that integrates various IP cores with both digital and analog interfaces. What interconnect choices will you make?
Show hintHide hint
Think about the components' interaction requirements.
