Q21
Which is not a step in strategic planning for HDL development?
  • A There must be a way to test each piece.
  • B Each block must fit together to make up the whole system.
  • C The names of each input and output must be known.
  • D The exact operation of each block must be thoroughly defined and understood.
Answer: Option C
Q22
In the frequency counter, when is the new count stored in the display register?
  • A After disabling the counter
  • B When the count buffer is full
  • C After the sample interval is set
  • D When the timing and control block has put it there
Answer: Option A
Q23
What are two ways to remember the current state of a counter in VHDL?
  • A With FUNCTIONS and PROCESS
  • B With counters and timers

  • B MOD-6
  • C BCD
  • D BCD followed by a MOD-6
Answer: Option D
Q25
In the keypad application, when all columns are HIGH, the ring counter is enabled and counting, and dav is LOW, what is the status of the d outputs?
  • A On
  • B Off
  • C Hi-Z
  • D 1011
Answer: Option C
Q26
In the frequency counter, what is the function of the Schmitt trigger circuit?
  • A To reduce input noise
  • B To condition the input signal
  • C To convert non-square waveforms

  • D Overlooking a possible VARIABLE
Answer: Option A
Q29
In the keypad application, just after the 4 ms mark the simulation imitates the release of the key by changing the column value back to F hex, which causes the d output to go into its Hi-Z state. On the next rising clock edge, what happens to dav?

  • B It goes LOW.
  • C It goes to Hi-Z.
  • D It goes to 1111H.
Answer: Option B
