Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Toughest question asked (in my opinion, as it required creativity and knowledge to answer) was on writing the following function in Verilog: W = .5X + .25Y Where W was an output, and X/Y are inputs. 2. If X/Y where 4 bits each, what is maximum output number possible?
Straight to technical questions, only conceptual no coding. Asked about register - register circuit setup, hold time, clk skew
NMOS PMOS strength and sizing and why
MUX to make NAND
Can't remember the other questions but it was very simple.
