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) for verification only. The course discusses the benefits of the new features and demonstrates how verification and testbench design can be more efficient and effective when using SystemVerilog constructs. The course first examines the basic SystemVerilog enhancements useful in verification, such as new data types, subprogram enhancements, packages, and interfaces. The course then explores verification features such as classes, constrained random stimulus, and coverage. This three-day class is an abridged version of the five-day SystemVerilog Design and Verification , with the emphasis on the verification features of SystemVerilog. It is aimed at verification engineer who will not use SystemVerilog for RTL design.
Learning Objectives
After completing this course you will be able to:
- Understand and use basic SystemVerilog features, including new data types, literals, statements, and operators; enhancements to tasks and functions; and packages 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
