  • Q1. Explain the working of CMOS inverter
  • Ans. 

    CMOS inverter is a type of logic gate that converts input signals into their complementary outputs.

    • CMOS inverter consists of a PMOS transistor and an NMOS transistor connected in series.

    • When input is high, PMOS conducts and NMOS is off, resulting in output low.

    • When input is low, NMOS conducts and PMOS is off, resulting in output high.

    • CMOS technology is widely used in digital integrated circuits due to its low power con

  • Q2. Write a verilog code for sequence detectro
  • Ans. 

    Verilog code for sequence detector

    • Use state machines to detect the desired sequence

    • Define states for each part of the sequence

    • Use combinational logic to transition between states

    • Implement the Verilog code using if-else statements and always blocks

(2 Questions)

  • Q1. What is Acceleration?
  • Ans. 

    Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time.

    • Acceleration is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.

    • It is measured in meters per second squared (m/s^2).

    • Acceleration can be positive (speeding up), negative (slowing down), or zero (constant speed).

    • Examples of acceleration include a car accelerating from a stop sign, a roller coaster going down a hill, and a rock

  • Q2. Rate of change of velocity.
  • Ans. 

    Rate of change of velocity is known as acceleration.

    • Acceleration is the derivative of velocity with respect to time.

    • It is measured in meters per second squared (m/s^2).

    • Positive acceleration means speeding up, negative acceleration means slowing down.

    • Examples of acceleration include a car accelerating from a stop sign or a roller coaster going down a hill.

I applied via Campus Placement and was interviewed in Jul 2024. There were 3 interview rounds.

Round 1 - Technical 

(1 Question)

  • Q1. Proof of Regions of operations of Mosfets in CMOS inverter.
  • Ans. 

    The regions of operation of MOSFETs in a CMOS inverter are cutoff, triode, and saturation.

    • MOSFET operates in cutoff region when Vgs < Vth

    • MOSFET operates in triode region when Vgs > Vth and Vds < Vgs - Vth

    • MOSFET operates in saturation region when Vgs > Vth and Vds > Vgs - Vth

    • CMOS inverter uses both NMOS and PMOS transistors to achieve high noise immunity and low power consumption

Round 2 - Technical 

(1 Question)

  • Q1. Explain the power leakage and dynamic power in CMOS circuits.
  • Ans. 

    Power leakage is the power dissipated in CMOS circuits when transistors are in off state, while dynamic power is the power dissipated during switching.

    • Power leakage occurs due to subthreshold leakage currents in transistors when they are in off state

    • Dynamic power is the power dissipated during charging and discharging of capacitive loads in CMOS circuits

    • Power leakage increases with decreasing transistor size, while dyn...
