Was asked about basic protocols for PCIE. Basic questions on CDC. Types of violations that the CDC tools complain - eg: no_sync, combi logic before double sync, multi bit double syncing, re-convergence etc. Code async reset FF and sync reset FF. What are the dis/advantages of one over the other.

Lots of questions about pmos and nmos (how to build nand gates, inverters), etc, how a pll works, how different things affect the output, transmission lines (parasitics, series vs parallel etc), flip flops, latches, op amps (designing lots of different op amps and discussing their rules)
