Let's Program the Transistors
Fault tolerance of electronic system is a major concern for the VLSI engineers. This can be realized from the post Need of Fault Tolerant VLSI System Design. The objective of this post is to introduce the proper tools for fault tolerance measure. A measure is a mathematical abstraction, which expresses only some subset of the object’s…
In Electronics industry incorrectness in products are described in several ways which may create confusion in understanding the terms defect, error and fault. Though these terms are used interchangeably in the field of VLSI testing, let’s try to draw a fine boundary between the meaning of these terms. Before doing this, we should understand why…
In the previous post we have understood the need of Fault Tolerance in VLSI System Design. A VLSI system can broadly be considered as a union of following 3 layers: Designers introduce several techniques to all these system layers to deal with transient as well as permanent faults, and these techniques incorporate the concept of…
In recent few years VLSI design has achieved remarkable growth. High performance (peta-scale) computing is a reality now and we are expecting exa-scale computing by 2020. We talk about many core processor now a days. Intel’s Xeon Phi (Knights Landing) with 72 cores and IBM’s Kilocore processors with more than 1000 cores are great examples…
This is an interview experience of Qualcomm, an American multinational semiconductor and telecommunications equipment company. This is an on campus placement experience and has been share by Mr. Ishaind Gupta (IIIT Delhi). As we all know that in this every second changing world a smart phone plays a very big role. A smartphone enables a…

Binary coded decimal (BCD) is a way to express each of the decimal digits with a binary code. This means that each decimal digit, 0 through 9, is represented by a binary code of four bits. Eg: 98 => 10011000 Unpacking the BCD number is separating each BCD digit. Eg: 98 can be separated as 09…

This is an interview experience of Qualcomm, an American multinational semiconductor and telecommunications equipment company. This is an on campus placement experience and has been share by Mr. Anuj Kumar (BITS Pilani). Hey guys… I appeared for Qualcomm Interview from Bits-Pilani, Pilani campus. It was 2 day process which included: Written Test Written test included…
8085 is a very basic microprocessor with the capability of limited arithmetic and logical operations. It has dedicated arithmetic instructions for addition, subtraction, increment and decrement. If we want to perform a multiplication operation then we need to write a program for it. Multiplication is nothing but repeated addition. This post presents assembly language program…
