SystemVerilog 101 (SV101): Design Constructs – Online Course

You will have 180 days to access SystemVerilog 101 . The lab database is downloadable and yours to keep.

Speaker Bio:

Jay Tyer, a graduate of WPI, has been teaching Verilog, Timing Analysis and various EDA tools for 17 years. He has been working in the development of online classes for several years.

Course Description

SytemVerilog is an extensive set of language constructs to the IEEE 1364-2001 standard. It’s meant to aid in the creation and verification of models. There are two parts to the language extension. The first part covered by this class, is new design constructs. The second part of SystemVerilog is verification constructs, covered by SystemVerilog102.

There are over 100 labs/examples giving comprehensive “how to” examples of most SystemVerilog language constructs. There are working solutions for each lab and the students can use the lab database for developing their own models later. The class is also self paced. All the work can be done independently by the engineers, at their own computer, and at their own pace.

There are self-grading quizzes for each chapter that allow the student to see if he/she is learning the material.

Course Objectives

The goals of this course are to make you familiar with the new part of the language.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

Hardware engineers. SystemVerilog is the next stage in the evolution of Verilog. Every Verilog engineer will need to know this information.

PREREQUISITE:

Students must have a computer with Internet access. The class is written in HTML so any browser with a Flash (version 6 or higher) player will work
To do the lab students must have access to an SystemVerilog simulator.
