When describing how a process works, make sure you use simple, easy-to-understand language. It is best to pretend you are speaking with somebody who has little or no technical background. Avoid using acronyms, jargon, or terminology specific to your occupation. The interviewer will ask you a follow-up question if they need additional information or want to explore the topic in more detail.

"Per the CAN specification, bit time is divided into four segments. These are the synchronization, propagation, and phase buffer 1 and 2 segments. Each segment consists of a specific, programmable number of time units, known as quanta. The length of the time quanta are defined by the CAN controller's system clock and the baud rate prescaler. There are two types of synchronization. These are hard synchronization, which occurs at the start of the frame, and resynchronization, which occurs inside a frame. Resynchronization results in a shortening or lengthening of the bit time."
