  • Q1. What are flip flops and latches
  • Ans. 

    Flip flops and latches are sequential logic circuits used in digital electronics to store and transfer data.

    • Flip flops are clocked circuits that store one bit of data, while latches are level-sensitive circuits that store data as long as the enable signal is active.

    • Flip flops are edge-triggered, meaning they change state on a clock edge, while latches are level-triggered, changing state as long as the enable signal is ...

Round 1 - Technical 

(2 Questions)

  • Q1. What kind FPGAs used, tell me difference
  • Ans. 

    FPGAs are Field-Programmable Gate Arrays used in hardware design. They can be categorized as SRAM-based, Flash-based, or Antifuse-based.

    • SRAM-based FPGAs are volatile and require reprogramming every time they power up. Examples include Xilinx Virtex series.

    • Flash-based FPGAs are non-volatile and retain their configuration even when powered off. Examples include Actel ProASIC3 series.

    • Antifuse-based FPGAs are OTP (One-Time...

  • Q2. Calculation of Decoupling analysis
  • Ans. 

    Decoupling analysis involves calculating the required capacitance to maintain stable voltage levels in a circuit.

    • Decoupling analysis is essential for ensuring stable power supply in electronic circuits.

    • It involves calculating the amount of capacitance needed to filter out noise and maintain voltage levels.

    • Decoupling capacitors are placed strategically in a circuit to provide this filtering effect.

    • The formula for calcul...

  • Ans. 

    Designing a digital system for detecting start bit in UART communication

    • The start bit is the first bit in a UART transmission and is always a logic low

    • The system should sample the incoming data at a rate higher than the baud rate to accurately detect the start bit

    • A shift register can be used to store the incoming data and detect the start bit

    • The system should also check for framing errors and parity errors

  • Ans. 

    Bode plot for CS amplifier shows gain and phase response with frequency.

    • Bode plot consists of two plots - one for gain (in dB) and one for phase shift (in degrees) vs frequency.

    • The gain plot typically shows a high-pass filter response with a peak at the resonant frequency.

    • The phase plot shows a 180 degree phase shift at the resonant frequency.

    • Bode plots are useful for analyzing frequency response of amplifiers and filt
