About Course

System Verilog for Functional Verification training (VG-SV) course is a 120 hours theory, 80 hours labs course structured to enable engineers gain expertize in Systemverilog for functional verification including complex testbench development. System Verilog Training course is targeted towards engineers looking to explore advanced functional verification techniques involving constrained random verification, assertion based verification, and coverage based verification. The course is targeted for engineers with all experience levels, starting from a BE, ME fresher to experienced engineers. System Verilog Training course is also targeted for engineers working in non-VLSI domains and planning to switch in to VLSI. Learning starts from basic examples to complex testbench development coding, to ensure a smooth learning curve.


System Verilog Training course is divided in to 3 aspects, covering language constructs, industry standard protocols(AMBA AXI, APB), VIP development for these protocols and one industry standard project with complete flow starting from specification reading till functional verification closure using regression, functional and code coverage as closing criteria. Institute also offers more than 40+ other projects based on industry standard protocols like USB3.0, PCIe, UFS, SATA, DDR, DMA, AMBA, Bridge and Ethernet MAC etc. Student can opt for these projects at a nominal fee.


... System Verilog language in learnt using more than 200+ detailed examples covering all aspects of SV starting from data types, operators, OOPs(Classes), Arrays, Inter-process synchronization, Interface, Program, constraints and randomization, code coverage, functional coverage, DPI and assertions. These examples cover more than 90% of questions asked in VLSI interviews.

System Verilog Training course also covers multiple hands-on verification projects based on AXI, APB, Ethernet, and Memory controller. Learning starts from simple projects like Ethernet switch design verification to complex design verification projects involving Functional verification of Memory controller. All these projects are done from scratch. Course curriculum also ensures that student also does these projects hands-on with trainer guidance as part of dedicated lab sessions.

System Verilog Training course also involves 25+ detailed assignments (20+ assignments on SV language, 2 assignments on protocol, 2 on VIP development, 2 on industry standard projects). These assignments are prepared by industry experts covering all aspects of SV from language constructs, protocols and multiple industry standard projects. Student gets to work on these assignments with complete guidance from trainers and student learning is evaluated using completion of assignments as the sole criteria. Student is offered with multiple (more than 10+) interview opportunities based on performance in assignments.
