    4. Basic Programming questions:
    For c++ and c many resources are there,
    prepare c++ and c well as it can be helpful for
    your programming tests too. I had enrolled a
    course from Udemy , you can check
    course content here.

    Questions in this section were good so practice


    as much as you can .

    beginners-/

    https://www.udemy.com/course/beginning-c-plus-
    plus-programming/

    5. Operating system and data structures :


    Courses and resource i referred for these section
    is as follows :
    for operating system : (study scheduling concepts
    well )
    https://www.youtube.com/playlist?
    list=PLmXKhU9FNesSFvj6gASuWmQd23Ul5omtD

    for data structure:


    https://www.udemy.com/course/
    datastructurescncpp/

    for practice of all software related topics i referred :


    https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/quiz-corner-gq/
    Prepare section 4 and 5 very well as questions were
    good in this section.

    INTERVIEW

    For digital profile :

    Prepare Digital IC , Static Timing Analysis and Verilog


    thoroughly . Don’t skip any topic . The necessary and
    sufficient source i will attach . But keep your basics
    sound . Questions of interview will be easy for you if
    you have sound basic.

    Digital IC :

    Start with video lectures by Rabaey. Prepare good


    notes , this is very important as you will definitely
    forget the contents of the lecture later on.

    Link of lecture series:


    https://www.youtube.com/playlist?
    list=PLpelQYOtPS_GffAjTNVRyy-QW5ydtkYvg
    Additional to this i also referred an IIT MADRAS
    lecture series on DIGITAL IC .Most of the things will
    be repeated and easy for you after going through
    Rabaey lectures but some of the topics are very well
    covered here lake mos capacitor .

    Link of the lecture series:


    https://nptel.ac.in/courses/108/106/108106158/

    2. Static timing Analysis (STA) :


    http://www.vlsi-expert.com/2011/03/static-
    timing-analysis-sta-basic-timing.html

    I referred this blog for preparing STA , prepare


    chapter 2 ONLY from this blog. I found the contents
    are precise and crisp. Prepare STA well as it is very
    important for both written and interview.

    3. Verilog:
    Resource i followed are:
    1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWE0-
    FOoE4s&list=PLUtfVcb-iqn-
    EkuBs3arreilxa2UKIChl&ab_channel=KNOWLEDGETRE
    E

    2. Verilog HDL by Samir Palnitkar .


    Refer both of them , lecture of Indraneel sir will give
    you knowledge for coding in Verilog . But many
    important concepts are given in Samir Palnitkar which
    were directly asked in interview.

    INTERVIEW QUESTIONS (MEMORY BASED)

    Round 1( 45 minutes)

    I was asked to write current equation of inverter and


    then interviewer asked about variation in current
    with process , voltage and temperature.(this question
    many linked question too , it took most part of round
    1)

    Short channel affects


    latch up and how to get rid of it , Antenna affect
    Some basic question from Verilog like blocking non
    blocking statement , Implicit and Explicit timing in
    Verilog.

    Round 2(70 minutes):

    I was directly asked that what i have prepared for


    interview , i told sta and first 3 questions were from
    sta only, so judge well before saying any topic.
    3 questions were given to be solved back to back .
    Then he told to implement a given Boolean
    expression using cmos and do the gate sizing. Then he
    told that one of the input is critical , size the gates
    considering that .
    From here he switched to dynamic logic and i had to
    size gates for that too, he asked what is domino
    effect.

    One Boolean expression was given and i had to


    reduce using kmap and De-morgans .

    And last question was from cmos fabrication flow .

    For Analog profile :


    This time Qualcomm hired for digital profile only so i
    am not having any interview experience for the same
    but as far as preparation is concerned i prepared from
    my gate notes and i also followed analog ic by razavi .
    One thing to mention that razavi lectures ( electronics
    1 and electronics 2) are for building up your basics
    but for interview perspective you MUST study analog
    ic book by razavi.

    Bottom line don’t get freaked out in interview


    questions were very basic , nothing was there from
    out of the box . Just be clear with your basics .

    All the best!!!
