Question $1$

Explain the differences between ASIC $($Application$-$Specific Integrated Circuit$)$ and FPGA $($Field$-$

Programmable Gate Array$)$ design. What are the key factors to consider when choosing

between these two approaches for a given project?

Question $2$

Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of synchronous and asynchronous digital circuit

design. When and why would you choose one over the other?

Question$3$

Define the term $"$RC delay" in the context of VLSI interconnect. How does increasing wire length

and capacitance affect RC delay? What strategies can be employed to mitigate this delay?

Question $4$

Discuss the impact of wire resistance on VLSI interconnect. How can resistance be minimized,

and what are the consequences of excessive resistance in on$-$chip wiring?

Question $5$:
