There's a lot of elements to typically cover in these questions, clarifications, scoping, making sure you're answering the actual question the interviewer is looking for you to answer, etc. Could be worth doing a mock interview with one of the Prepfully Apple Hardware Engineer experts... they've worked in the role so they clearly know how to get through the interview. prepfully.com/practice-interviews

AC coupling means a capacitor is in series between the source and the next stage. DC source voltages do not affect the output. If the source is DC coupled, then DC source voltages affect the output. An LDO is a linear regulator where the input /output voltage difference can be small. DC/DC is any type of regulator with DC input and DC output. Vout can be higher or lower than Vin. Typically, Dc/DC is a switching regulator.
