✓ Build and Use Constrained Random Testbenches and Functional Coverage Models
✓ Lots of Hands On Coding Exercise will give confidence to students.

Requirements
● Basic Knowledge of Digital Electronics like logic gates, multiplexers, flip-flops, finite state machines (FSMs), etc.
● Basic Understanding of Hardware Description Languages (HDLs) (Optional but helpful)
● HARDWORK, PASSION, DEDICATION

Description
Learn all the concepts of System Verilog in depth with lots of hands on programs and quizzes. Also create a project in System Verilog utilizing different verification constructs and concepts.

• Why System Verilog – What is the need for system verilog and what were all the challenges before System verilog standard and how system verilog solved them

• Data Types and constructs – Different data type and constructs which were added in the system verilog which eases out development and development of complex verification environments faster

• Threads / Inter-process communication/synchronization – New constructs like Semaphore, Mailbox, Events which got added for inter process communication and how to use them efficiently

• Classes and Randomization – Object oriented programming concepts to write extendable and maintainable testbenches along with randomization support for faster verification closure.

• Interfaces – Support for faster RTL/testbench development using interfaces/modports – Write less code and do more

• Coverage – How to make sure we are done with verification of Chip – Write & measure coverage.

• Assertions – Write checks closure to design

• Program Block – Avoid races using Program blocks

• Clocking Block – Avoid races in design and testbench using clocking blocks

• DPI (Direct Programming Interface) – Interface System verilog with C and other languages using System verilog DPI

• Project

• Design a synchronous FIFO with System verilog and create verification environment using advance features of system verilog like Queues, Classes, Randomization interface, coverage etc.
