Who Should Attend?

Engineers interested in applying SystemVerilog technology to their verification process, in deploying SystemVerilog Assertions and in developing SystemVerilog verification environments using the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) library.

Prerequisites

Verilog Fundamentals for SystemVerilog course (For engineers with VHDL experience)
Verilog training or equivalent experience

Software Tools

SystemVerilog Simulator running on a Linux platform (Provided by Student)*: Questa from Mentor Graphics, VCS from Synopsys, XCelium from Cadence Design Systems, or Vivado from Xilinx (Vivado supports SVV and SVA labs only)

Skills gained

After completing this comprehensive training, you will have the necessary skills to:

Use the new data types, array types, and structs in testbenches
Use dynamic processes to create parallel stimulus
Create OOP style testbenches using OOP techniques
Apply SystemVerilog constrained randomization to testbench stimulus generation
Create covergroups to apply functional coverage to the analysis portion of a testbench
Go on and learn how to use the Universal Verification Methodology(UVM) library
Explain how assertions can help you in your design or verification code
Explain and deploy the most useful SVA constructs
Write a broad range of SystemVerilog Assertions
Use the bind directive to incorporate Assertions into design code at runtime
Explain existing UVM-based verification projects
Construct your own UVM testbenches
Create standard components like test, environment, scoreboard, agent, transactors, etc.
Define your own transaction Item classes
Use polymorphic construction techniques (factory pattern) for components and transaction objects
Define and distribute configuration objects for environment customization
Use sequences for stimulus generation
Develop a register model for your DUT and use the model for initialization and accessing DUT registers
