Technical Coding
I interviewed for an internship at Cypress Semiconductor in Lynnwood, WA, focusing on testing PSoC chips for their CapSense technology. The interview started with questions about how I thought their CapSense tech worked and how I'd implement my own version. They also asked how I would measure a human finger's capacitance and what I thought that value was. I should have brushed up on Analog to Digital converters, as that was also pretty key.
Confirmed questions3 questions
- Can you explain how analog to digital conversion works and discuss its various types?
- Please draw and explain a low pass filter.
- Describe how you would develop your own CapSense technology.
