17,594 design engineer interview questions shared by candidates

Mainly focused on Low power as I said I am interested in low power. Asked about timing analysis STA setup hold and synthesis. Some basic rtl design with verilog vhdl.Basic CMOS modeling NAND gate and NOR gate. IN HR round as i was fail in one of the subject was asking about that subject but as i performed well they consider that.

( I have just passed out from BTech) First round: 1) Asked about college. 2) Implement 7:1 Mux using 2:1 mux 3) Why verilog is used in this field? 4) Difference between latch and flip flop ( with waveforms). 5) You had C in engineering, why didn't you include it in your resume? C has more use , right? 6) About Major Project ( Why it is not related to VLSI?) 7) Frequency Division Circuit 8) What is the default value of wire? 9) What is the default value of reg? 10 ) Convert one hexadecimal number to binary Second Round 1) Tell me about yourself. ( I was enrolled in a program, asked about that program in detail.) 2) Design an asynchronous flipflop in verilog. 3) What is setup time, hold time? 4) What are the different types of delay and explain them? 5) Differences between RISC and CISC. 6) What are the application of counters? 7) What is a shift register explain its operation with a suitable circuit diagram? 8) Psuedo code for finding prime numbers from 1 to 100. 9) What is LSFR? 10) What is pipelining how it is implemented? 11) Could you draw the symbol of CMOS inverter? 12) What is CMOS? 13) Do you really know python? 14) What did you do in MATLAB? 15) Certifications are not enough, did you do any project related to this? Third Round: 1) Gave an AND OR circuit and asked to convert it into a MUX. 2) Difference between latch and flipflop 3) Draw a latch using only NAND gates. 4) Draw a D latch. 5) Psuedocode for checking a string in a the contents of a file in a directory of files. 6) Is MATLAB a tool or language?
