Interviewed May 2010 (took a day)
I had applied for a position in TI Bangalore through an employee referral. The interview date & time was set as per my convenience. The interviewers were very cordial & supportive.
They started with RLC circuits.
1) Drew 3/4 different RC circuits and asked questions about the input to output waveforms.
2) Drew an actual regulator circuit with a cap connected between output and resistor divider feedback point and asked what is the function of this cap.
3) 2/3 Different types of MOS based amplifier circuits and asked their gain. o/p impedance, advantage of one wrt other.
2 weeks later when I inquired about the result of the interview process, I was told that I have been rejected.

First had a phone interview consisting of behavioral questions. Second phone interview consisted of basic questions of op amps and mosfets. You defiantly need to know your basics. I was told that I would receive another phone interview afterwards because they wanted a second opinion. The interviewer was very kind and made you feel comfortable.

First he asked tell me about yourself. Next question was area of interest in Digital. I told CMOS. Then he asked various questions from cmos, starting from designing of NOR gate using cmos. Rise and fall time of NOR gate. delay phenomena in inverter, threshold voltage, working of basic cmos, setup and hold time in flip flops, transmission gates, flip flop conversion, latch from mux, basic DE circuit anlysis

Interviewed Jul 2010 in Dallas, TX (took 2 weeks)
I had an on-site interview, which is much better than phone interviews. Usually they just check out what your background is and see what practical design knowledge you have. I haven't had the math quiz that other companies have had, maybe those were just phone screens.
The people/managers vary wildly between organizations. Some are much more helpful during the interview while others seem more skeptical. One interview gave me the impression that the work/life balance wouldn' be there. The culture seems to be very negative right now.
