  Motivations

  I enjoy doing analog and digital. And this role also complemented my dual degree specialization (ICS)

Resources

A thorough revision of analog and digital courses like EE 204, 224, 309 was enough

Main Topics

Opamps, RC circuits, solving circuits using KCL, KVL

Selection process

There was a test, followed by an interview

Road-blocks

Given the less amount of opportunities that open up for DD people, it was a bit disappointing at first. I even got rejected by a few firms. But constant motivation from friends and family helped :)

Work during internship

I modelled a half duplex, synchronous communication link to achieve a very low bit error rate. It involved designing multiple components like transmitter-receiver, channel, PLL, etc

Overall Internship Experience

TI has a very good work culture with the best part being it’s people. Everyone was really helpful. Almost every evening after work, we used to go to Texins- which was a separate area with many sports facilities, music room, dance room, etc. It was a good experience overall!

Networking opportunities

I made some really good connections with many people in my team including my mentor and manager. I also got lucky as I had multiple IITB alums working in my team. I bonded very well with them (over discussions like RR about some courses or profs XD)

Reccomended or not

Advice

Don’t panic if you blank out in an interview. Just pretend it was a dramatic pause! 💁🏻‍♀️ Add a thoughtful nod, works 37% of the time😂
