Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Prepare for best and expect the worst in terms of interview experience. HR management is worst and they'll keep finding replacements of yours even after selecting. So you should also have plan B incase your candidature gets rejected. I declined the offer and joined another company.

Round 1 - One-on-one 

(2 Questions)

  • 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.

    • Examples: In a flip...

    A CMOS inverter is a type of digital logic gate that switches between high and low voltage levels.

    • CMOS stands for Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor

    • It consists of a PMOS (p-type metal-oxide-semiconductor) and NMOS (n-type metal-oxide-semiconductor) transistor connected in series

    • When the input is high, the PMOS transistor conducts and the output is low

    • When the input is low, the NMOS transistor conducts and the outp...
