Process
Had the 1st round of phone interview only. The length of the interview was around 45 minutes.
Questions covered embedded systems and coding. For coding questions, explaining the algorithm was sufficient, rather than writing the entire program.
Questions
- Difference between flip-flop and latch
- Question about hold time and setup time
- Verilog basics
- Programming: find minimum
