I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Broadcom
Interview
There were 3 rounds -1 written test round and 2 technical rounds.
written test comprises of 3 sections- Aptitude, C programming & Computer and Networking Basics
Aptitude questions were average, C programming section was tough as there were only debugging questions and simplest part was computer and networking basics section.
then there were only 2 technical rounds, no HR.
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Broadcom in Apr 2013
Interview
The interview process was an online application for a position as RTL verification advertised by my University placement centre. I have been invited to an assessment day with two other people.
The day was mostly composed of individual technical panel interviews in which I was asked to solve small RTL design problems with the aid of pseudocode or other code/mean.
I passed the assessment day, but they realised I was more keen on another position in the company and they put my application on hold. After 2 weeks I have received another job advert for RTL design instead, which I apply to. I was invited to a panel interview with senior members of the team.
Mot of the interview was focused around a set of paper with different RTL design problems for me to solve. Afterward I was asked normal questions such as why I was applying for Broadcom., and the usual one-two competency questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
During the first assessment day I was asked how would I read and write to a memory RAM that has only one data channel. I did not know the answer, but I after some thinking I deduce it.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Broadcom in May 2014
Interview
Asked about projects on my resume. And then technical questions:
1,mismatching in layout: Prov is one contributor. (glitch?)
2,how to decrease power, dynamic and static (sub threshold), Why can use CMOS
3,logic design: change DFF in counter into TFF, then there are only three states. 00->01->11
4,how to minimize noise using CMOS
5,setup time and hold time, what does skew influence setup time and hold time
6,What factors influence system frequency. I answered setup time.
7,asked my project, size of whole layout os SRAM and final project in 477.
8,how to decrease delay, I answered using larger size. update: increase I, such as size, Vdd, logical effort, decrease load. pipeline , parallel
