Advanced Verilog HDL Design Techniques (IHDL230)
Course Description
You will learn efficient coding techniques for writing synthesizable Verilog for programmable logic devices (FPGAs and CPLDs). While the concepts presented mainly target Altera® FPGA devices using the Quartus® II software, many can be applied to other devices and synthesis tools as well. You will gain experience in behavioral and structural coding while learning how to effectively write common logic functions including registers, memory, and arithmetic functions. You will learn how to use Verilog constructs to parameterize your design, increasing their flexibility and reusability. You will be introduced to testbenches and Verilog constructs used when building them. The exercises will use the Quartus II software to synthesize Verilog code and the ModelSim®-Altera tool for simulation.At Course Completion
