What?s the difference between Testing & Verification?
Answer Posted / john
Testing is the process of identifying defects in a product.
Verification is the process of ensuring that the product
complies with its specification. Validation is the process
of ensuring that the product meets the users' needs.
Although linked, these are obviously separate. A product may
be defect free but not what was specified or needed; it may
have defects and be not as specified, but may still meet
user need; it may meet specification, but have defects and
not meet the users' need (probably the most common outcome
of software projects!).

What are the different gates where boolean logic are applicable?
Let A & B be two inputs of the NAND gate. Say signal A arrives at the NAND gate later than signal B. To optimize delay, of the two series NMOS inputs A & B, which one would you place near the output?

Calculate rise delay of a 3-input NAND gate driving a 3-input NOR gate through a 6mm long and 0.45m wide metal wire with sheet resistance R = 0.065 / and Cpermicron= 0.25 fF/m. The resistance and capacitance of the unit NMOS are 6.5k and 2.5fF. Use a 3 segment -model for the wire. Consider PMOS and NMOS size of reference inverter as 2 and 1 respectively. Use appropriate sizing for the NAND and NOR gate.
Given a layout, draw its transistor level circuit. (I was given a 3 input AND gate and a 2 input Multiplexer. You can expect any simple 2 or 3 input gates)
