Field applications engineer Interview Questions

I was not familiar with the circuit, and did not know it's output/operation at first glance. However, I told the interviewers that I could walk them through how I would go about solving the circuit and figuring out what the output would be. I choose two different input voltages and analyzed the circuit and resulting output for each case. My analysis and output was correct for each case, and they told me the circuit was an op-amp window comparator circuit (a simple google search will show you the basic circuit that I described above).

There's quite an extended back and forth in actual interviews for questions like this, so nothing quite like real practice. The Prepfully Texas Instruments Field Applications Engineer experts have actually worked in this role, so they're able to do an honest-to-God accurate mock, which really puts you through the paces. prepfully.com/practice-interviews

if you see loop of diodes, that work as kind of variable load..there were some tristate buffers that control the voltage..with n bit of digital, you can represent 2^n-1 analog steps in converter..

I described a situation of conflict and how I had to submit to a process of resolution

Plan & work Prioritization

There's a lot of elements to typically cover in these questions, clarifications, scoping, making sure you're answering the actual question the interviewer is looking for you to answer, etc. Could be worth doing a mock interview with one of the Prepfully Texas Instruments Field Applications Engineer experts... they've worked in the role so they clearly know how to get through the interview. prepfully.com/practice-interviews

Analyze the failure of your design? (Then asked specific questions with regards to the first question: why is an LDO better to be used with op-amps than a buck converter?)
