面试指南

• For technical questions: start with basic principles, then elaborate on design choices, trade-offs, and real-world considerations.
• For project experience: use the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to structure your answer.
• For debugging scenarios: demonstrate a systematic approach: hypothesize, test, measure, and iterate.
• Explain the operation of a buck converter and how you would design its output filter.
• Describe a power circuit design project you worked on, including challenges and trade-offs.
• How would you debug a power IC that exhibits excessive ripple under load?
• What simulation tools have you used and how do you validate simulation results with experiments?
• How do you approach writing an application note for a new power IC?
