Interview Questionnaire 

7 Questions

  • Q1. Tell us about your self?
  • Q2. What is your thesis topic (in detail)
  • Q3. Explain NOT gate
  • Ans. 

    NOT gate is a logic gate that inverts the input signal.

    • Also known as inverter gate

    • Produces output that is opposite of input

    • Symbol is a triangle with a small circle at the input

    • Example: NOT gate with input 0 produces output 1

  • Answered by AI
  • Q4. Explain NAND gate
  • Ans. 

    NAND gate is a logic gate that produces an output that is the inverse of the AND gate.

    • It has two or more inputs and one output.

    • The output is low only when all inputs are high.

    • It is a combination of an AND gate followed by a NOT gate.

    • It is commonly used in digital circuits for its versatility and efficiency.

    • Example: CD4011B IC contains four 2-input NAND gates.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q5. What do you know about state time analysis
  • Ans. 

    State time analysis is a method used to analyze the behavior of digital circuits over time.

    • State time analysis involves creating a state diagram to represent the circuit's behavior.

    • The state diagram is used to determine the circuit's output at each clock cycle.

    • This analysis is useful for verifying the correctness of digital circuits.

    • It can also be used to optimize circuit performance.

    • Examples of tools used for state ti

  • Q6. How you can reduce delay explain all merhods
  • Ans. 

    Delay reduction methods in digital design engineering

    • Optimizing clock frequency

    • Reducing wire length

    • Using pipelining

    • Implementing parallel processing

    • Minimizing capacitance

    • Using faster logic gates

    • Reducing fan-out

    • Using shorter interconnects

    • Optimizing placement and routing

1 Question

  • Q1. What subjects have you studied? What is setup hold time how to fix? Which is more critical? Which circuit is better in terms of delay and power?
  • Ans. 

    I have studied digital design, setup hold time is the time data must be stable before and after the clock edge, fixing it involves adjusting the clock or data path, setup time is more critical, a circuit with fewer stages is better for delay and power.

    • Studied digital design

    • Setup hold time is the time data must be stable before and after the clock edge

    • Fixing setup hold time involves adjusting the clock or data path

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Basics matter a lot in digital as well as for analog interviews. If you are confident in your answers then it leads a really good impact on interviewer.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: There was written test in the very beginning of the selection process. It had questions from logical reasoning, quantitative aptitude and electronics. It had questions from microprocessor and many other electronics topic. Thereafter there were the interview rounds.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: There were 2 rounds in which they asked me both HR questions as well as core field related question. They asked me to describe myself as well as tell them about my strengths and weaknesses. They also asked me about working in the southern part of India and my views on relocation.

On the technical side they asked me the following questions:

1) Design of D-latch from 2*1 mux?
2) XOR gate using minimum number of NAND gates?
3) Shift registers connections to get a particular sequence?
4) Use of Accumulator in processors like 8085?

In general the interview was more focussed on the technical side with the HR side just to make sure I will be a good fit in the company.
