For a single computer processor computer system, what is the purpose of a processor cache and describe its operation?
For a NMOS transistor acting as a pass transistor, say the gate is connected to VDD, give the output for a square pulse input going from 0 to VDD
How about voltage source?
What is the difference between the mealy and moore state machine?
Are you familiar with the term MESI?
What was your role in the silicon evaluation or product ramp? What tools did you use?
Draw the Cross Section of an Inverter? Clearly show all the connections between M1 and poly, M1 and diffusion layers etc?
Describe the various effects of scaling?
For an AND-OR implementation of a two input Mux, how do you test for Stuck-At-0 and Stuck-At-1 faults at the internal nodes? (You can expect a circuit with some redundant logic)
