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,
