campus interview preparation - EEE

I have tried to put together this list which might help to prepare for campus interviews.

Sedra Smith

- Chap 3: basics on MOS (Ensure you can answer questions like - Whats is Vt? What factors does it depend on etc.
- Chap 4: Read the basic Amp configurations. (There is a nice figure in this chapter which you could use)
- Chap 6: Contains current mirrors and stuff (read through it. Imp is to know that design IC amplifiers cannot use discrete resistors)
- Chap 8 : Very IMP. Contains basics of feedback theory and is explained well.

Analog Electronics.

- read the basic confs of an OPAMP circuit.
(you can leave things like Sallen Key filters and stuff and read them if you find time)
but ensure u read basic filters and oscillators.. like the Wien Bridge .. etc


< style="font-weight: bold;"> Basics of R/L/C circuit analysis. (bobrow / Web)


Digi - go through slides.
try to write FSM's for some circuits. Eg. a printer gets a reset / start pulse. (described operations) .. and ask u draw a state machine.

KNOWING ABOUT SET UP AND HOLD TIMES IS A MUST!!

Kang - read the Inverter characteristics.

IN VERILOG -
know about blocking, non blocking.
always, assign, initial.
Why is initial not synthesizable?
whats is slack?

--- fork / join in verilog

- Do some puzzles. Look at prev. papers. U can use R.S. Agrawal to refresh basics on ur algebra.
- Use shakuntala devi for some good puzzles. But puzzles from apti papers might be more helpful

What else can be done?

- Basics of CAS. (FT, FFT)
- Mu. P. (addressing logic, Mem / IO addressing, OPcodes and stuff, odd - even banks, Little endian - big endian, etc.)
