- 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 ...

- 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

- Q1. What is cross talk
- Ans.
Cross talk is the unwanted transfer of signals between different components or traces on a circuit board.
Occurs when signals from one trace interfere with signals on another trace
Can lead to signal distortion or errors in data transmission
Prevented by proper spacing and shielding between traces
Example: Cross talk between data lines on a PCB causing errors in communication
- Q2. How to define generated clocks through edges
- Ans.
Generated clocks through edges are defined by specifying the source clock and the edge on which the generated clock is based.
Specify the source clock for the generated clock
Define the edge (rising/falling) on which the generated clock is based
Use tools like Synopsys Design Compiler to define generated clocks

- Q1. What is a cache? What does tag used for in a cache?
- Ans.
A cache is a high-speed data storage layer that stores frequently accessed data to reduce access time. A tag is used to identify the location of data in the cache.
Cache is a temporary storage that holds frequently accessed data
It reduces the access time by providing faster access to data
Tag is used to identify the location of data in the cache
Tag is a part of the cache memory address
Cache can be implemented in hardware...
