Given a white-board diagram of a block with a FIFO, and verbal description of the block's inputs & outputs, write on the withe board the Verilog or SystemVerilog for the design. I had 15 minutes. Why would you want someone who goes straight to code, with no planning? That usually results in spaghetti code that has to be rewritten.
Is NAND technology part of combinatory or sequentially logic?
tell me about the position in your current compnay
Question related to FSMs, which diagram describes the implementation better.
Introduction. Describe the working and the ranges of a transistor.
How to synchronize a data bus, which has no control. Interviewer was basically trying to poke at the approach to solve that problem. Write clock domain has a burst rate of 80 writes per 100 clocks. Read clock domain reads at a rate of 8 data words in 10 clocks. Data Buffer sizing to not cause overflow Asked to design a 2 request arbiter.
Intro and things worked on. Then he asked me deep about the project I was working on. Synchronous FIFO question. Wrote for 50 continuous cycle s in any 100 cycles but reading every alternate cycles. Depth reqd? How to design synch fifo ? How async fifo ? Is it possible to write and read from sync FIFO built using single port sram in same clock cycle ? Setup time and why we need it ? How will multiply by 63 ? Optimize way of finding the square of a number ? 1, 4, 9, 16, 25,
Design basic logic gates (AND, XOR) using a 2to1 mux. Write a module which will take clk as an input and output a clk divided by 3. Important to note that generated clock needs to be an output of the Flop.
RTL coding related questions such as writing a simple FSM.
How can I estimate a new IP complexity and area without having any specific details yet?
