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

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

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

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: No
Tips: No

Duration: 2
College Name: IIT Madras

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.

  • Q1. IV characterstics of CMOS inverter
  • Ans. 

    IV characteristics of CMOS inverter show the relationship between input voltage and output current.

    • CMOS inverter has two transistors - NMOS and PMOS connected in series.

    • For low input voltage, NMOS is ON and PMOS is OFF, resulting in low output voltage.

    • For high input voltage, NMOS is OFF and PMOS is ON, resulting in high output voltage.

    • The transition between low and high output voltage occurs at the threshold voltage.

  • Q2. Set up and hold time explain
  • Ans. 

    Set up time and hold time are timing requirements in digital circuits to ensure proper operation.

    • Set up time is the minimum time before the clock edge that the input signal must be stable.

    • Hold time is the minimum time after the clock edge that the input signal must be maintained stable.

    • Violating set up time can lead to incorrect data being latched.

    • Violating hold time can lead to metastability issues.
