Hoisting is a JavaScript mechanism where variable and function declarations are moved to the top of their containing scope during compilation.
Variables declared with 'var' are hoisted, but their initialization is not. Example: console.log(a); var a = 5; // undefined
Function declarations are fully hoisted, allowing them to be called before their definition. Example: greet(); function greet() { console.log('Hello');...
let, const, and var are JavaScript keywords for variable declaration with different scopes and mutability.
var: Function-scoped or globally-scoped, can be redeclared and updated. Example: var x = 10; x = 20;
let: Block-scoped, can be updated but not redeclared in the same scope. Example: let y = 10; y = 20; // valid
const: Block-scoped, cannot be updated or redeclared. Must be initialized at declaration. Example: con...
OOP in C++ is based on concepts like encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction for better code organization.
Encapsulation: Bundling data and methods in classes. Example: class Car { private: int speed; public: void setSpeed(int s) { speed = s; }};
Inheritance: Deriving new classes from existing ones. Example: class ElectricCar : public Car {}; // ElectricCar inherits from Car
Polymorphism: Ability to...
The graphics pipeline is a sequence of steps that transforms 3D models into 2D images on the screen.
1. Vertex Processing: Transforms 3D coordinates into 2D space (e.g., applying transformations like translation, rotation).
2. Clipping: Removes parts of objects outside the viewable area to optimize rendering.
3. Rasterization: Converts vector graphics into pixels, determining which pixels are affected by the shapes.

Connecting an HDMI device triggers OS interrupts for detection and configuration.
HDMI connection generates a hardware interrupt to notify the OS.
The OS identifies the connected device type (e.g., monitor, TV).
Drivers are loaded or configured based on the device capabilities.
Resolution and refresh rate settings may be adjusted automatically.
User notifications may appear, indicating the new display settings.
SPC is used to monitor and improve yield by analyzing process data to detect variations and make adjustments.
SPC involves collecting data on key process parameters and using statistical tools to analyze trends and patterns.
By monitoring variations in the process, SPC helps identify potential issues before they impact yield.
SPC allows for real-time adjustments to be made to the process to maintain or improve yield ...
Common defects in semiconductor fabrication process
Contamination: Foreign particles or impurities can cause defects in the semiconductor material.
Oxide Breakdown: Breakdown of the insulating oxide layer can lead to short circuits.
Photoresist Issues: Problems with the photoresist material can result in inaccurate patterning.
Etching Errors: Improper etching can cause damage to the semiconductor layers.
Lithography De...
A compiler translates high-level programming code into machine code for execution by a computer.
Lexical Analysis: Breaks code into tokens (e.g., keywords, identifiers).
Syntax Analysis: Checks tokens against grammar rules (e.g., parsing expressions).
Semantic Analysis: Ensures logical consistency (e.g., type checking).
Optimization: Improves code efficiency (e.g., removing dead code).
Code Generation: Converts optimiz...
Computer cache performance refers to the efficiency of the cache memory in storing and retrieving data for the CPU.
Cache performance is measured by hit rate, miss rate, and latency.
A higher hit rate indicates better performance as more data is found in the cache.
Cache misses result in slower performance as data needs to be retrieved from main memory.
Latency refers to the time it takes to access data in the cache.

I applied via LinkedIn and was interviewed in Nov 2024. There was 1 interview round.
Resolving clock violations involves optimizing timing paths, adjusting clock tree design, and ensuring proper signal integrity.
Identify the source of the clock violation using timing analysis tools like PrimeTime.
Optimize the clock tree by reducing skew and improving latency; for example, using buffer insertion.
Adjust the placement of critical components to minimize the distance between clock sources and sinks.
Use cloc...
I applied via LinkedIn and was interviewed in Oct 2024. There were 3 interview rounds.
Analog design related question
Agile processes emphasize iterative development, collaboration, and flexibility to enhance project delivery and team dynamics.
Iterative Development: Agile breaks projects into small, manageable units called sprints, allowing for regular assessment and adjustments.
Collaboration: Daily stand-up meetings foster communication among team members, ensuring everyone is aligned on goals and progress.
Customer Feedback: Regularl...
