They asked me about my resume first. I had to explain the I2c bus protocol because I had a project using it. Then they asked me how to sync between 2 clock domains. I said asynchronous FIFO, but they wanted 'synchronizer'. They then asked me about the circuit of a synchronizer. Next, they asked how to sync 2 systems running at different frequencies if one sends data too fast. I said 'delay elements', and they talked about asynchronous feedback logic. Finally, they asked what happens on the I2c bus if a design fault causes 2 peripherals to send data at the same time.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- Regarding asynchronous feedback logic.
- I don't know about asynchronous circuits.
