Programme overview
This 3-day Advanced Digital Design training class is intended for experienced digital IC designers. It will teach & demonstrate Advanced Design techniques mostly using Verilog while adding some new SystemVerilog features. Techniques used will emphasize efficient, synthesizable, RTL coding techniques.
This course is being held on 24 - 26 Oct 2023 after reruns in 2022 held on 20 - 22 April and 9 - 11 Nov. It was previously held in 2021 on 30 Nov - 2 Dec and in 2020 on 18 - 20 May, 26 - 28 May and 29 Sep - 1 Oct. It will be delivered entirely online. The course tutor, Cliff Cummings, is based in Utah, 7 hours behind Irish time, so the course will be held each day from 11am to 6pm.
