I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Texas Instruments (Calicut, Kerala) in Apr 2018
Interview
there were three rounds
1. Online screening test
2. Technical interview
3.HR interview
The test was purely on opamps, BJT, VLSI, RC and diode circuits and a bit of aptitude
the aptitude, analog and digital sections were separate and each section was given a specific time for each of the sections. 20 questions from each of the sections were given 30 minutes.
based on performance in test, they classify people for analog and digital seperately.
I was there for analog.
Technical round was purely on basics.Opamps, RC circuits step response. They didn't even see my resume.
I applied online. I interviewed at Texas Instruments (Tucson, AZ)
Interview
The interview process began with an initial screening round, followed by four comprehensive technical rounds that lasted approximately four hours in total. The technical questions were thorough, focusing heavily on Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs), Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs), and broader mixed-signal architectures. The interviewers also placed a strong emphasis on foundational analog design basics.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Explain the effects of device mismatch in a current mirror and how you would mitigate it in both your schematic sizing and layout techniques
The interview had basic analog circuit questions- RLC networks with frequency analysis. few mosfet impedance calculations questions as well. Graphs of current and voltages in op-amps and RC circuits were also asked.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Texas Instruments (Santa Clara, CA) in Feb 2022
Interview
Start with a survey that describes how you behave in workplace, then recruitment will assign you the interviews. 2 1hour session, 4 people total. Some behavioral and technical questions from both verification and design roles. You then talk to recruiter to decide which location/team you would like to be put on.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
RC step response, bias generator, MOS with inductive load with an input step response, Vout and Iout plots. Show and describe a project you have done.
