Module 1 Checkpoint — Further Reading
The Module 1 Checkpoint confirms that you can predict, simulate, and reflect on a combinational circuit — the same skills you practised in Lessons 1.1 through 1.8.
What you demonstrated:
- Reading a truth table and predicting a gate's output before running it.
- Running synthesisable Verilog against a supplied checker and interpreting simulation output.
- Articulating why the circuit behaves the way it does.
If any stage felt shaky, revisit the lesson it draws from:
| Stage | Skill | Source lesson |
|---|---|---|
| Predict | Truth-table reasoning | Lesson 1.2 |
| Run | Simulation & supplied-checker reading | Lesson 1.4 |
| Reflect | Articulating combinational behaviour | Lesson 1.8 |
Up next: Module 2 expands your combinational Verilog toolkit — always @(*), if/else, case, arithmetic, hierarchy, and latch-safe design. Module 3 is where clocked state begins: flip-flops, registers, counters, and shift registers.
