Interview Questionnaire 

4 Questions

  • Q1. Implement the following code using gates(MUX and multiplier) If(A): F = D*E Else: F = G*H
  • Ans. 

    Implement code using MUX and multiplier gates for conditional assignment

    • Use a 2:1 MUX to select between D*E and G*H based on A

    • Use a multiplier gate to calculate D*E and G*H

    • Connect the output of the MUX to the input of the multiplier gate

    • Ensure proper sizing of gates to meet design requirements

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. Draw State diagram to find a pattern 1011.Important to ask: If overlap is allowed.If there are 1000 states, we represent using 10 bits. If ‘P’ power is consumed when the system moves from State 0 to State ...
  • Q3. Timing analysis of Sequential and combinational logic: Definition of Setup time. How does it affect the system. Find the minimum clock frequency given Tcq, delay of all the gates, Tsu, Thold
  • Ans. 

    Setup time is the minimum time required for the input signal to be stable before the clock edge arrives.

    • Setup time is a critical parameter in timing analysis of sequential and combinational logic.

    • It affects the system by ensuring that the input signal is stable before the clock edge arrives, preventing errors in the output.

    • The minimum clock frequency can be calculated using the formula: Fmin = 1 / (Tcq + Tsu + Thold), ...

  • Answered by AI
  • Q4. Due to some other type of fabrication, if clock frequency happened to be more than whatit is supposed to be(the one calculated above), how do you handle that situation?

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Shortlisted 8 students from resumes for interview.

Parameters for shortlisting (at each stage of process):Varied ResumeAny work done in FGPACG - I had CGPA of 8.66Internship - Was an Intern at QualcommProjects - Digital IC Design-used Standard Cell Design,Wireless-OFDMsynchronization and channel estimation,Automatic speech recognition)

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Only 1 round of interview was taken.No HR round and only Technical Questions were asked.

Basics in our courses(state diagrams etc.) were tested.Concepts were explained and was asked questions. So, skill ofgrasping and applying were also testedSpeed didn’t matter. How aproblem was approached,thought were testedNo knowledge regarding minors/electives tested.

For Core:No courses/electives looked at(as nothing related to FPGA is taught)Nothing related to BTP/DDP
Tips: Good skills of maths might help.

In the interview, in 2nd question which was mentioned, whether repetition isallowed or not was asked by the candidate.This really mattered as that was theonly thing different he has done from the person who did an intern in FPGA andit might helped in getting selected finally :)

Skills: Grasping Power, Approaching a Problem, Thought Process, Math Skills, C++, C, Python, Matlab, Networks, Digital Signal Processing, Data Structures , Digital Systems, Algorithms
