I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Texas Instruments in Aug 2008
Interview
some basic digital electronic principles were asked. Eg: how does an flip flop work. Some basic analog clipper and clamper circuits were asked to be analyzed.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given an clipper circuit. Draw the output waveform.
i did the technical interview for 1h with two senior engineers using webex for the analog design engineer role and had to annotate using the mouse so it was uncomfortable
TI Design Engineer interviews cover analog/digital fundamentals, op-amps, STA, Verilog, CMOS, memory, and embedded C. Expect problem-solving, project presentation, and behavioral questions testing depth, reasoning, and technical clarity. Other than that it was basics.

Question 1
Explain the working of a folded cascode op-amp and analyze its noise performance.
Excellent experience being interviewed by TI. This was back in 2007-08. TI was my first ever job and I had the most fantastic experience of my life working for them
