Course description

This course bridges the gap between college-level Verilog knowledge and the advanced verification practices used in today’s semiconductor industry. You’ll begin by mastering SystemVerilog, the industry-standard verification language, and then progress to building complete reusable UVM environments — the backbone of all modern SoC and IP verification flows.

Through structured lessons, hands-on labs, and real-time projects, you’ll gain both the technical depth and practical confidence required to step into a Verification Engineer role in leading VLSI companies.

What You’ll Learn in the Course

• Fundamentals of Verification Methodologies and Simulation Flow

• SystemVerilog Constructs for Testbench Design and Randomization

• Tasks, Functions, Classes, and Mailboxes in Verification

• Constrained Random Verification (CRV) and Functional Coverage

• Applying OOP (Object-Oriented Programming) concepts for reusability

• Introduction to UVM (Universal Verification Methodology) Architecture

• UVM Components: Driver, Monitor, Agent, Environment, and Scoreboard

• Writing and Running UVM Sequences and Tests

• Building a complete AHB/SRAM Verification Environment from scratch

• Understanding UVM Factory, Phases, and Configuration Database

Tools Covered

• ModelSim / QuestaSim (Simulation)

• Xilinx Vivado (for optional design reference)

• EDA Playground (for practice and quick tests)

Who Should Enroll

• ECE / EEE / CSE students aiming for VLSI Verification careers

• Learners who have completed RTL Design / Verilog courses

• Beginners looking to understand SystemVerilog and UVM flow

• Freshers preparing for VLSI Internship / Job Interviews

Outcomes

• Write SystemVerilog-based testbenches for RTL designs
