What is the course about?

The course "RTL Design Using Verilog" is a 14 hours course and useful to VLSI Beginners. The course covers the basics of complex RTL design using Verilog and is useful as a foundation course to RTL designers. The main course highlights are:

  1. Video sessions on Verilog constructs and their role in RTL design.
  2. Videos on RTL design strategies and performance improvement
  3. Videos on the Finite State Machine RTL design strategies.
  4. Videos on the RTL design strategies for complex designs
  5. Exercises and Assignments

If you wish to pursue a career in the VLSI domain then the course can be used as foundation course! The course covers the RTL design concepts with the practical scenarios.

Course Structure

The course has 11 chapters and covers the Verilog constructs and their role in the RTL design!

  1. Introduction to Design Flow and HDL

  2. Concurrency and continuous Assignments
