Round 1 - Technical 

(1 Question)

  • Q1. Explain the MOSFET operation and Body Bias effect
  • Ans. 

    MOSFET is a type of transistor used in electronic devices. Body Bias effect refers to the change in threshold voltage due to biasing of the body terminal.

    • MOSFET stands for Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor.

    • It has three terminals: Gate, Source, and Drain.

    • The operation of a MOSFET involves controlling the flow of current between the Source and Drain terminals by applying a voltage to the Gate terminal.

I applied via campus placement at Coimbatore Institute of Technology, Coimbatore and was interviewed in Jun 2024. There were 2 interview rounds.

Round 1 - Technical 

(2 Questions)

  • Q1. Capacitor and voltage in series and parallel
  • Ans. 

    Capacitors in series add reciprocally, in parallel add directly. Voltage in series is the sum, in parallel is the same.

    • Capacitors in series: 1/Ctotal = 1/C1 + 1/C2

    • Capacitors in parallel: Ctotal = C1 + C2

    • Voltage in series: Vtotal = V1 + V2

    • Voltage in parallel: Vtotal = V1 = V2

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. RLC circuit and circuit theory
Round 2 - Technical 

(2 Questions)

  • Q1. Analyse the output of the circuitry
  • Ans. 

    The output of the circuitry needs to be analyzed for functionality and accuracy.

    • Examine the input and output signals to ensure they are within expected ranges

    • Check for any noise or interference in the output

    • Verify that the circuit is functioning as designed based on the specifications

    • Look for any potential issues or errors in the output

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. Draw the output waveforms
  • Ans. 

    The output waveforms can be drawn based on the input signal and circuit configuration.

    • Understand the input signal characteristics (frequency, amplitude, etc.)

    • Analyze the circuit components and their effects on the signal

    • Draw the output waveform based on the input and circuit analysis
