VLSI DV Interview Puzzles
A practice bank of real VLSI Design Verification interview puzzles: SystemVerilog language traps, OOP/testbench gotchas, concurrency and timing races, randomization and constraints, SVA assertions, functional coverage, logic/aptitude brain teasers, and live debug scenarios — each with code, a hint, a worked solution, the exact answer, and the gotcha.
What this course is
This is a puzzle bank, not a lecture series. Every page is a real interview-style puzzle. You get the prompt and code first; predict the answer, then check the worked solution, the exact answer, and the specific trap interviewers are testing.
192 worked puzzles across 8 themes (24 per theme, 6 per topic).
Each puzzle: prompt, code, hint, step-by-step solution, exact answer, gotcha, and a follow-up question.
Difficulty tags (Easy / Medium / Hard) so you can ramp up the way interviewers escalate.
Section Q&A and interview-round walkthroughs to rehearse explaining your reasoning out loud.
