Digital Design Engineer Interview Questions

553 digital design engineer interview questions shared by candidates

Round 1:- Logic Families, Mux, Demux, In CMOS circuits, which among tphl and tplh is longer? And why? Divide-by-3 counter, Round 2:- (after a wait of the futile 4 hours) Significance of 'reset' signal in digital circuits Given a step input to a low pass filter, high pass filter and band pass filter respectively, what do you expect the output to look like? Dissimilate a square wave into its harmonics (this question because I had mentioned signal processing projects in my resume) Now a days we have a large number of cells in logic blocks? What do you think is the approach to detect an error in such a case?

White-board diagram of a block with one input pin (+ clock), and one output pin. The input is a serial stream of data. The output =1 whenever the pattern "0110" has been seen on the serial data. Everything is synchronous to the clock input. Write the Verilog. Given the shortened time constraint for the interview, diagram the design solution. In addition to what you come up with, write a bubble diagram for an FSM solution.
