Process
There were two rounds of technical interviews.
The first round mostly focused on digital electronics basics and CMOS VLSI-based questions. A few questions were also asked on ROM and memory.
The second interview was mostly about my resume. Then I was asked to design a circuit.
I had to make a circuit to check if two 14-bit numbers were equal. They then extended this to N-bit numbers.
After that, they started asking questions on Static Timing Analysis (STA). They went deep into setup and hold working. Finally, they asked me about interconnect delays in VLSI.
Questions
