Technical Interview Focus Areas for SoC Design

Questions frequently encountered in technical screening rounds at top semiconductor MNCs:

Q1: How does AXI4 bus handle outstanding transactions?

AXI separates address and data channels, allowing multiple address requests to issue before data responses arrive, maximizing bandwidth utilization.

Q2: What is power gating vs clock gating in SoCs?

Clock gating disables clock trees to idle registers (reduces dynamic power). Power gating completely shuts off power rail via sleep transistors (eliminates static leakage power).
