Course description

This course bridges the gap between college-level Verilog and real-world RTL design used in the semiconductor industry. You’ll begin by mastering Verilog HDL for digital design and simulation, then move to testbench creation and functional verification, and finally implement your design on FPGA hardware completing the full Code-to-Chip journey.

Through step-by-step guidance, lab exercises, and projects, you’ll gain both the design and verification skills needed for VLSI and embedded job roles.
