FIFO fundamentals (synchronous) and depth calculation, arbiter fundamentals (fixed priority, round robin, weighted), experience with cache, how to optimize a given logic path for timing assuming area is no concern, my ASIC design experience (timing closure, microarchitecture, block explanations).

The interview began with fundamentals like race conditions, reset types (synchronous vs. asynchronous), and their advantages. I was then asked to write RTL code for a basic flow, with the interviewer gradually increasing complexity by adding registers and FIFO elements. In the final part, I explained my projects in detail, focusing on my contributions, design decisions, and verification approach.
