FSM Design using Verilog

What is the course about?

The course "FSM Design using Verilog" is almost  8 hours course and useful to RTL design engineers. The course covers the RTL design strategies for FSM designs and complex FSM design techniques. The course is useful as a foundation course and can be best tool to design FSM controllers using Verilog. The main course highlights are:

1. Video sessions with practical design concepts and Verilog constructs
2. Videos on RTL design for FSM and Performance improvement
3. Videos on the data and control path synthesis
4. Videos on the complex FSM designs and FSM controller design using Verilog
5. Exercises, QUIZZES and Assignments

If you wish to pursue a career in the RTL Design domain then the course can be used as foundation course! In the RTL design, the designer should know about the various kinds of FSMs and RTL design strategies for complex designs. The course covers the FSM design techniques, RTL design using Verilog for the FSM controllers which are helpful to the RTL design engineers!
