VLSI Chip Design for Industrial Application

Program Overview

This program comprehends overall design of digital circuits with FPGA using simulation tools. The learners will be imparted with knowledge on Hardware Description Language (HDL) and coding the digital system. The program helps understand the basic digital building blocks design and simulation with VHDL and implementation with FPGA. The learner can acquire knowledge on practical industrial applications and communications protocols using VHDL with Xilinx ISE and FPGA. Understand design and develop prototype using FPGA with the Xilinx Vivado Design suite Software for Industrial applications.
