Q182: An 8bit ADC with parallel output converts input signal into digital numbers. You have to come up with the idea of a circuit, that finds the maxomum of every 10 numbers at the output of the ADC.

Q186: FIFO Design: We have a fifo which clocks data in at 10mhz and clocks data out at 8mhz. On the input there is only 8 data samples in any order during each 10 clocks. In other words, a 10 input clock window will carry only 8 data samples and the other 2 clocks carry no data (data is scattered in any order). How big does the fifo need to be to avoid data over/under-run.

Q187: We have a circular wheel with half painted black and the other half painted white. There are 2 censors mounted 45 degree apart at the surface of this wheel( not touching the wheel) which give a "1" for black and "0" for white passing under them. Design a circuit to detect which way the wheel is moving. Do not assume any fixed position for start.

Q188: The silicon of a new device has memory leak. When all "0" are written into memory, it reads back all "0" without any problem. When all "1" are written, only 80% of memory cells are read back correctly. What can be possibly the problem with the memory?

Q197: The Dutch National Flag Problem (The following problem was proposed by W.H.J. Feijen and made famous by Edsger W.Dijkstra, both of Dutch origin.) You are given a row of n buckets, each containing one ball, which may be either red, white, or blue. Your goal is to rearrange the balls in the buckets such that they appear in the order of the colors on the Dutch national flag: red balls should be grouped on the left, the order of the colors on the Dutch national flag: red balls should be grouped on the left, move balls is swap(i,j), which swaps the contents of the i and j buckets. Give pseudocode for a linear-time algorithm for sorting an array B[1..n] of balls in the Dutch national flag order. Your algorithm should use only constant space in addition to the given array.
