Description

This is an open course and the content will be update based on student feedback


The preparation for an interview is not easy for all. You can get nervous about multiple things before going to an interview. If that interview was technical and related to Analog IC design and Analog circuits, then it can be a handful. Analog Circuits ‘appears’ to be tough for many IC designers ONLY IF their fundamentals about the circuits are not thorough. These questions are curated from my personal experience of answering questions in the Tech rounds – on the white board ? – of top semiconductor product companies like Texas Instruments, Qualcomm, Intel, Cypress Semi, Analog Devices, etc.

As a course instructor, I wanted to curate and bring most of the questions about the interviews asked under ONE COURSE or ONE PLATFORM for all to access and benefit. You should not be surprised to find many of these questions to be seen in many GATE ECE papers from 2012 – 2020. Some of the questions asked in the interview have direct answers, while many others are presented to know about the approach to solve the problem.

The course is designed for the people who are appearing for Interviews after the Undergrad or as professionals for higher positions. In this course, you will learn the intuitive approach of solving the problem and learn what are the applications of the simple circuits. The principles of design thinking and problem solving have been used in various sections and lectures to prepare a positive outcome.

It begins with the passive RC circuits starting from resistive dividers to RC circuits behaving as low pass and high pass filters. Progressively, the course leads you to solving larger circuits and application level learning. You will learn about

1. Concepts of Operational Amplifiers

2. Using Superposition

3. Applying KCL, KCL, Superposition or a combination of the three.

4. Active and Passive Filters

5. Multi-vibrators

6. Oscillators

7. Bridge Circuits

8. Multi-input circuits

On completion of the course, the student is expected to be confident about all the fundamental concepts of Analog Circuits and be prepared to apply the knowledge in DIRECT and INDIRECT problem solving.

For the questions on specific topics like ADC, DAC, PLL, LDO, BGR and High Speed SerDes, refer to the other EIGHT courses offered on this platform and learn from them.


I would be very grateful if you can message me if there was a topic or an interview question you were asked and we can see if it is related to add to our course.

I can help with recommendation and guidance on work or school project (BE / BTech/ ME / MTech / M.S / Ph.D).



Happy Learning!!
