About the Program

Design Verification in VLSI is a critical and time-intensive step in the product development process. Its primary goal is to ensure that the product or system design complies with specified standards and requirements. In fact, it typically accounts for about 80% of the total time allocated for the product development process. Many foundries place significant emphasis on testing and verification, which are crucial at every stage of VLSI design.

System Verilog is a hardware description and verification language that plays a crucial role in the field of electronic design automation (EDA) and integrated circuit (IC) design. It's an extension of Verilog, which was originally developed for digital design and simulation. System Verilog adds powerful features specifically designed to facilitate verification, such as enhanced data types; object oriented programming capabilities, assertions, constraints, coverage and parallel or concurrent threads. This make system Verilog a vital tool in the development of complex digital systems

This course offers a comprehensive introduction to the primary enhancements that System Verilog brings to the Verilog hardware description language (HDL). It also illustrates the advantages of these new features and illustrates how design and verification processes can become more efficient and productive with the utilization of System Verilog constructs.
