I applied via Referral and was interviewed in Jan 2024. There was 1 interview round.

Round 1 - Technical 

(2 Questions)

  • Q1. Floorplan : How do we calculate number of macros to be added in a block?
  • Ans. 

    Number of macros in a block is calculated based on the size of the block, the size of the macros, and the desired spacing between macros.

    • Calculate the area of the block

    • Determine the size of the macros

    • Calculate the area taken up by each macro

    • Divide the block area by the macro area to get the number of macros

    • Consider any spacing requirements between macros

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. What is crosstalk? Explain with example.
  • Ans. 

    Crosstalk is the unwanted transfer of signals between communication channels.

    • Crosstalk occurs when signals from one channel interfere with signals on another channel.

    • It can result in distorted or degraded signal quality.

    • Example: In audio systems, crosstalk can cause a faint echo or noise from one channel to be heard in another channel.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: They asked me about my thesis and some device related questions as my thesis was on modelling of device. Questions were basic and were related to variation of device parameters with environmental factors and other parameters. Apart from that, several questions related to basic digital circuits were also asked concerning flip flops, latches, setup time and hold time. The technical interview went on for approximately 1 hour.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: The HR round lasted for about 5 mins only. The HR person asked me whether I were interested in going for PhD or not and about my hobbies and interests. Overall, the interviewers are very friendly and asked basic questions only.
Tips: Prepare your CV well, have a good CPI, do your thesis sincerely, concentrate on your basics and you will stand a very good chance of getting selected.


General Tips: Do the courses thoroughly, make good course projects and start preparing for the placement session at least 1 month early.

Don’t ever mention to them that you are interested in higher studies even if you are applying. In case you don’t get a job at your targeted company, don’t lose hope and move on to the next one.

Concentrate on your preparation and the things that are of utmost importance, don’t get bogged down by pressure. Be optimistic and cheerful, because confidence really helps during interviews.

Final Tips :
1. Be confident and enthusiastic in your response to questions because you have to make them understand that you are interested in the profile.
2. Chalk out a plan to strengthen your strong points and address the weak ones.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: Test was subjective and questions were asked from basic analog, digital design, VHDL and VLSI circuits.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Had 3 technical interviews each around 25 minutes. They asked me about my summer internship and
questions from microcontroller architecture and its interfacing. Then they asked me the questions
from those problems which I didn't attempt in the written test.
Tips: For electrical students, it might be a bit challenging. I took an elective on Microcontroller in 7th sem which
helped me a lot during the interview. You might want to brush up your concepts of 8085, digital, OPAMPs
and analog

Round: HR Interview
Experience: My family background and my future goals were asked. They asked me about
my internship project and wanted to know what I learnt during the internship. Then I asked a few questions
from them about the company work culture and growth opportunities

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Resume is not given any due importance in selection for further rounds . But honesty is very important as it counts once you are selected for HR round .
Tips: Try to be one hundred percent honest . And put your projects and course work in the beginning. They don't care your POR s and extra curricular activities.

Round: Test
Experience: Hardware - Questions are mainly from ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS (RLC ckts) , Analog ckts. Amplifiers , Opamps , digital system design . Aptitude section is very easy . Hardware section is tough .I felt Signal processing was easier , indeed I got selected for that profile .
Tips: Prepare thoroughly these courses :- EMC , DIGITAL SYSTEMS, NETWORKS AND SYSTEMS,ANALOG & DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING , ANALOG CKTS COURSES .THAT SHOULD BE ENOUGH .
Duration: 90 - Signal Processing minutes
Total Questions: 120 - Hardware and aptitude

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: The selection procedure is a test followed by tech interview and an HR interview.
The test had two parts:
 Aptitude (common across all profiles)
 A tech. test (separate for each profile)

Round: Interview
Experience: The tech interview was the important one and the HR interview was just about knowing the student and vice-versa. The tech interview was more concentrated on the basics and more importance was given to the approach of solving the problem rather than solving the problem itself.
No CGPA cutoff.

Round: Interview
Experience: Not very important.

General Tips: The work is well structured and executed. There is a lot of opportunity for more technical learning. Interns are also included into the teams and this helps the intern on knowing about the things going around them and gets an overall view of how things work.
As a whole, the work is very good, and exceeds all the expectations of the students.

(2 Questions)

  • Q1. What is aspect ratio?
  • Ans. 

    Aspect ratio is the ratio of an object's width to its height.

    • Aspect ratio is commonly used in design and engineering to maintain proportionality.

    • It is often expressed as a ratio, such as 16:9 for a widescreen TV.

    • Aspect ratio can affect the visual perception and usability of a product.

    • It is important to consider aspect ratio when designing graphics or layouts for different devices or mediums.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. How do you decide stackup?
  • Ans. 

    Stackup is decided based on the number of layers, signal integrity requirements, and manufacturing constraints.

    • Consider the number of layers required for the design

    • Evaluate signal integrity requirements and impedance control

    • Take into account manufacturing constraints such as minimum trace width and spacing

    • Balance cost and performance
