Course Description
This is an Engineer Explorer series course. The Engineer Explorer courses explore advanced topics.
This course gives you an in-depth introduction to the main SystemVerilog enhancements to the Verilog hardware description language (HDL), discusses the benefits of the new features, and demonstrates how design and verification can be more efficient and effective when using SystemVerilog constructs.
The course is broken down into two modules: The Design module examines improvements for RTL design and synthesis; the Verification module explores verification enhancements such as object-oriented design, assertions and randomization.
Learning Objectives
After completing this course you will be able to:
- Understand and use the SystemVerilog RTL design and synthesis features, including new data types, literals, procedural blocks, statements, and operators, relaxation of Verilog language rules, fixes for synthesis issues, enhancements to tasks and functions, new hierarchy and connectivity features, and interfaces.
- Appreciate and apply the SystemVerilog verification features, including classes, constrained random stimulus, coverage, strings, queues and dynamic arrays, and learn how to utilize these features for more effective and efficient verification.
