Start Quiz

______ is used in logic design of VLSI.

LIFO FIFO FILO LILO

After an initialization phase, the simulator enters the ______phase.

Compilation Elaboration Execution None of the above

Which concept proves to be beneficial in acquiring concurrency and order independence?

Alpha delay Beta delay Gamma delay Delta delay

Which functions are performed by static timing analysis in simulation?

Computation of delay for each timing path Logic analysis in a static manner Both a and b None of the above

What is/are the necessity/ies of Simulation Process in VHDL?

Requirement to test designs before implementation & usage Reduction of development time Decrease the time to market All of the above

An Assert is ______ command.

Sequential Concurrent Both a and b None of the above

Which among the following EDA tool is available for design simulation?

OrCAD ALDEC Simucad VIVElogic

Why is multiple stuck-at fault model preferred for DUT?

Because single stuck-at fault model is independent of design style & technology Because single stuck-at tests cover major % of multiple stuck-at faults & unmodeled physical defects Because complexity of test generation is reduced to greater extent in multiple stuck-at fault models All of the above

Why is the use of mode buffer prohibited in the design process of synthesizer?

To avoid mixing of clock edges To prevent the occurrence of glitches & metastability Because critical path has preference in placement Because Maximum ASIC vendors fail to support mode buffer in librari
