(2 Questions)

  • Q1. What is an ICG? How would you use it in the design?
  • Ans. 

    ICG stands for Inter-Chip Global. It is a network that connects multiple chips in a system.

    • ICG is used to transfer data between different chips in a system

    • It helps in reducing the number of wires required for communication between chips

    • ICG can be used in various design aspects such as clock distribution, power management, and data transfer

    • Example: In a multi-chip system, ICG can be used to transfer clock signals from o

  • Q2. How will MSCTS help at SOC level CTS
  • Ans. 

    MSCTS can help in achieving better clock distribution and reducing skew at SOC level CTS.

    • MSCTS (Multi-Source Clock Tree Synthesis) can optimize the clock tree for better skew and jitter performance.

    • It can also help in reducing power consumption by optimizing the clock network.

    • MSCTS can handle multiple clock sources and ensure proper synchronization.

    • It can also help in meeting timing constraints and reducing clock tree ...

(2 Questions)

  • Q1. What was the most difficult challenge faced in the projects you worked?
  • Q2. How will you fix setup and hold time when both are violating at the same time.
  • Ans. 

    Fixing setup and hold time violations simultaneously requires adjusting clock timing and/or data path delays.

    • Identify the critical path causing the violations

    • Adjust the clock timing to meet setup and hold requirements

    • Adjust the data path delays to meet setup and hold requirements

    • Use tools like static timing analysis and delay calculation to determine necessary adjustments

    • Iteratively adjust timing and delays until viola

(2 Questions)

  • Q1. CDC technique , and why need of CDC
  • Ans. 

    CDC stands for Clock Domain Crossing technique used in digital design to ensure proper data transfer between different clock domains.

    • CDC technique involves synchronizing data signals when crossing between different clock domains to prevent metastability issues.

    • It is necessary because different clock domains operate at different frequencies and can lead to data corruption if not properly synchronized.

    • Common CDC techniqu...

  • Q2. How to transfer multiple bits in CDC
  • Ans. 

    Transfer multiple bits in CDC involves using a parallel data transfer method.

    • Use parallel data transfer method to transfer multiple bits simultaneously

    • Implement a shift register to store and shift out multiple bits

    • Utilize multiplexers to select and transfer specific bits

    • Consider using a bus architecture for efficient data transfer
