Application Specific Integrated Circuit is an IC used for particular use. With the changing technological environment, complexity of the chip designs has increased. In chip designing the maximum time is invested for verification process and it has to be performed at every step of designing a chip. Designers of digital ASICs often use a hardware description language (HDL), such as Verilog or VHDL or hardware verification language such as System Verilog to describe the functionality of ASICs.  This course will help the student to acquire required skill set needed for the industry.

Course Objectives: 

1. To introduce the learner System Verilog concepts for verification. 

2. To provide understanding of System Verilog and SVA for verification, and understand the improvements in verification efficiency. 

3. To introduce the learner advanced verification features such as practical use of classes, randomization, checking and coverage. 

4. To highlight the significance of verification in VLSI industry.
