Functional Verification Course For Experienced Engineers Overview
Course Overview
VLSI Front end course for Experienced Engineers course is a 34 weeks course structured to enable experienced engineers gain in depth expertise to functional verification.
Majority cases, functional verification engineers working on live project does not get to work on all the aspects of functional verification flow, they are only involved in one of the activity like testcase coding & debug, coverage analysis. This course is targeted for such engineers, to enable them get hands on exposure to complete Test bench development using SV & UVM with multiple industry standard projects.
Course includes more than 40+ assignments covering various aspects of System verilog, AXI Protocol, AXI VIP Development, Ethernet MAC verification, UVM constructs, AHB Protocol, AHB UVC Development and AHB Interconnect functional verification.
All the aspects of the course are covered using practical examples. Systemverilog course involves more than 250+ examples covering all the aspects of Systemverilog. UVM training involves more than 100+ examples. All the examples and projects are developed from scratch as part of course sessions.
