Signal integrity refers to the quality of an electrical signal as it travels through a circuit or system.
It involves ensuring that the signal remains clear and undistorted from the transmitter to the receiver.
Factors affecting signal integrity include impedance matching, noise, crosstalk, and reflections.

Crosstalk is unwanted interference between signals on adjacent lines, while noise is random unwanted signals that can degrade performance.
Crosstalk occurs when signals on adjacent lines interfere with each other due to coupling effects.
Noise is random unwanted signals that can be caused by various sources such as electromagnetic interference or power supply fluctuations.
To fix crosstalk, techniques like spacing out lin...
Clock latency is the delay between the clock signal being generated and reaching the destination, skew is the variation in arrival times of the clock signal at different destinations, and jitter is the variation in the period of the clock signal.
Clock latency is the delay between the clock signal being generated and reaching the destination.
Skew is the variation in arrival times of the clock signal at different destina...
Useful skew, negative skew, and positive skew are terms used in physical design to describe timing constraints.
Useful skew refers to intentional delay added to certain paths to meet timing requirements.
Negative skew occurs when data arrives later than expected, leading to potential timing violations.
Positive skew occurs when data arrives earlier than expected, potentially causing setup time violations.
Skew can be adjus...

Transformers are electrical devices that transfer electrical energy between two or more circuits through electromagnetic induction.
Transformers are used to increase or decrease voltage levels in electrical circuits.
There are two main types of losses associated with transformers: copper losses and iron losses.
Copper losses occur due to the resistance of the copper windings in the transformer and are proportional to the ...
Power loss in electrical systems can be categorized into core losses, hysteresis loss, and eddy current loss.
Core losses occur in the magnetic core of transformers and include hysteresis and eddy current losses.
Hysteresis loss is caused by the reversal of magnetization in the core material, leading to energy dissipation in the form of heat.
Eddy current loss is caused by circulating currents induced in the core material...
Strategies for reducing losses in the transformation process include implementing lean manufacturing principles, improving maintenance practices, and investing in employee training.
Implementing lean manufacturing principles to eliminate waste and improve efficiency
Improving maintenance practices to prevent breakdowns and reduce downtime
Investing in employee training to enhance skills and knowledge

Runtime polymorphism in C++ is achieved through virtual functions, vptr (virtual pointer), and vtable (virtual table).
Runtime polymorphism allows objects of different classes to be treated as objects of a common superclass.
Virtual functions are declared in a base class and overridden in derived classes to achieve polymorphism.
vptr is a pointer that points to the vtable of an object, allowing dynamic binding of virtual ...

I have also worked with specific Windows API's like Winsock for networking and WinINet for internet-related tasks.
dynamic_cast is a C++ operator used for safe downcasting of pointers and references in polymorphic classes.
dynamic_cast is used to safely downcast a pointer or reference from a base class to a derived class.
It can fail if the object being casted is not of the target type, in which case it returns a null pointer for pointers or throws a std::bad_cast exception for references.
Dynamic_cast can only be used with pointers o...
Union in C++ is a data structure that allows storing different data types in the same memory location.
Unions are similar to structures but all members share the same memory location.
Only one member of a union can be accessed at a time.
Unions are useful when you need to store different data types in the same memory space.
Example: union MyUnion { int i; float f; };
Example: MyUnion u; u.i = 10; // Accessing integer member
Weak pointer is a type of smart pointer in C++ that does not control the lifetime of the object it points to.
Weak pointers are used to break circular references in shared pointers.
They do not increase the reference count of the object.
They are used in scenarios where the object may be deleted while there are still weak pointers pointing to it.
Processes and threads are units of execution in a computer system. Memory is allocated to processes. Mutex and semaphore are synchronization mechanisms. Core refers to a processing unit in a multi-core system. Context switching is the process of switching between different processes or threads.

Threads are lightweight units of executi...
