Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions on Projects: should have been thorough it. Give an appreciative explanation, not equation based. To be confident, should be prepared.
Analog questions: VCO construction schematic, Relaxation oscillator schematic, Instrumentational Amplifier vs non-inverting amplifier regarding input impedance.
How to change the speed of a fan depending on the temperature of the room
Temperature sensors, motors, driving a fan.
analog signal+potentiometer.......MC board.....pwm signal to drive a dc motor. What are the blocks inbetween ?
Communication protocols: SPI I2C CAN USB UART USRT. MUST HAVE STUDIED !!!!
infinte loop, char c goes from -128 to +127
network, infinite resistance stair
printf("%d%d%d",i,i++,++i) o/p
Are you placed in other companies ? where ? Will you take that ? Why Cypress now that you are alreaddy placed in that company ?
What is the most difficult situation you have faced in your project ? how did you overcome it ?
Higher studies ? yes or no
Talk about yourself.
C programming, about constructors, static variable initialization within a function.
Bit operations in C should be known.

about the projects on your resume
be thorough with resume
I applied through university. I interviewed at Cypress Semiconductor (San Jose, CA) in Oct 2020
Interview
Very friendly and patient. Ask multple questions regarding your backgrond that prefers to software and hardware. Some basic question about microcontroller, communication protocal, amplier, sensor system design. Also need to get familiar with the IDE for the company
I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cypress Semiconductor (Bengaluru) in Sept 2020
Interview
The first stage was a apti plus technical plus coding mcq test , it will be slightly challenging . It is recommended you preprare well with your electronics basics. Next is the technical interview round. Interviewer was pretty peaceful and tried good techniques to bring out the best in me.Be thorough with your projects and all the technicality about it.next is the second technical round. If you get through that then it is going to be the HR round. Unfortunately i did not.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
As for the first stage, being thorough with basics(electronics) plays an important role.
For the first technical interview round , be technically sound make sure whatever is on your resume you are thorough with it.
For the second technical round , be good with c ,memory layout of c and other theory aspects of C,
HR round which was attended by my friend through telephonic call , so it was comprised basic about yourself questions , situation based questions etc.
I applied through university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Cypress Semiconductor in Sept 2020
Interview
Was conducted in campus. Resume shortlisting was done. Shortlisted students were expected to give a written test comprising of 4 sections: Aptitude, C Programming, Systems, Analog and Digital. Up Ahead on the next day were the interviews. I had to wait 8 hours to get a call for the interview whereas many of the other students had completed at least 3 rounds. Was very disappointed.
