Description
Do you want access to all the questions that are asked at the Big Tech Companies? Do you want to feel supremely confident going into the interview process? Do you want to ACE all the interviews and get the best possible offer(s)?If your answer to any of these questions is "YES", then this course if for YOU!This course will expose you to a lot of Digital VLSI logic, design and architectural problems. This course will not only prepare you but also enhance your thought process when it comes to applying your knowledge to solve real world problems in the ASIC/ Digital Design world. Lot of System Verilog coding techniques which will help you understand how to use parameters and write RTL for scalability and reconfigurability which will help students differentiate themselves from competing candidates.The questions in this course will cover Microarchitecture, Design techniques, RTL coding, Power gating, Synthesis, UPF Flow, DFT, ECOs while keeping scaling and modular design in mind. It takes years in the industry to develop these design techniques and mindset.Lastly, the course will continue to evolve on a weekly basis. New lectures with latest questions and solutions will be added every week to help you keep up with the questions at the Big Tech companies.
