Practical articles on VLSI design, verification, tools and building a career in the semiconductor industry.
Modern System-on-Chip (SoC) designs contain multiple functional blocks, clock domains and power domains. These blocks do not always start operating at the same time. Some may receive a global power-on…
Read articlePreparing for a VLSI technical interview can feel challenging, particularly for fresh graduates who have studied electronics but have limited experience with industry-oriented design and verification workflows. Interviewers may ask…
Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools are an essential part of modern semiconductor development. Engineers use them to simulate RTL designs, verify functionality, synthesize hardware, analyze timing, implement physical layouts, and…
“Why do you want to pursue a career in VLSI?” is a common question in semiconductor interviews, particularly for fresh graduates applying for entry-level RTL design, design verification, physical design,…
AMBA (Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture) is a family of interface specifications developed by Arm for communication between functional blocks in a system-on-chip (SoC). It allows processors, memory controllers, DMA engines,…
SystemVerilog constraints are an important part of functional verification because they allow engineers to generate legal, varied stimulus without manually specifying every transaction. In verification interviews, candidates are often asked…
Verilog coding is a core skill for freshers applying for RTL design and digital design roles. Technical interviews often require candidates to write a small hardware module, explain its behavior,…
Debugging is an essential skill in VLSI design and verification. Even when RTL code compiles successfully, the design may produce incorrect outputs, fail simulation, violate timing constraints, or behave differently…
Analog IC design is an important area of semiconductor engineering because it enables chips to process real-world signals such as voltage, current, sound, temperature, and radio-frequency signals. Analog circuits are…
Design for Testability (DFT) is an essential part of the VLSI design flow because a chip must not only function correctly but also be testable after manufacturing. DFT engineers design…
Static Timing Analysis (STA) is a fundamental topic in VLSI interviews, especially for freshers applying for Static Timing Analysis, Physical Design, RTL Design, and ASIC implementation roles. Interviewers want to…
Placement and routing are important stages of the VLSI physical design flow. Interviewers use these topics to assess whether candidates understand more than tool commands. They want to know how…
