AXI Protocol and VIP Development Training

About Course

AMBA Protocol training is structured to enable engineers gain perfection in AXI, AHB & APB protocols. Majority of designs are based on ARM architecture. All ARM architectures are based on AMBA protocols(AXI, AHB and APB), which makes it essential for every design & verification engineer to have detailed understanding of these protocols. SoC design debug and testbench component coding in most cases involves either AXI and/or AHB protocols, and also majority of interviews are focused on candidate familiarity with AXI or AHB protocol. All this makes it essential for every VLSI engineer to have good working knowledge of these protocols.



... AMBA Protocol training course focuses on teaching protocol concepts, features, timing diagrams from basic to advanced for AXI4.0, AHB2.0 and APB. Course also focus on teaching protocol testbench development concepts. Student has flexibility to choose specific protocol as well.
