Design : Digital Design | SystemVerilog Assertions & Functional Coverage FROM SCRATCH

About this Course

SystemVerilog Assertions and Functional Coverage is a comprehensive from-scratch course on Assertions and Functional Coverage that covers features of SV LRM 2005/2009 and 2012. The course does not require any prior knowledge of OOP or UVM. The course is taught by a 30 year veteran in the design of CPU and SoC who published a book on SVA and FC in 2014 and hold 13 U.S. patents on design verification. The course has 33 lectures and is 8.5 hours in length (with lifetime access) that will take you step by step through learning of the languages.

The knowledge gained from this course will help you find and cover those critical and hard to find and cover design bugs. SystemVerilog Assertions and Functional Coverage are very important parts of overall functional verification methodology and all verification engineers need this knowledge to be successful. The knowledge of SVA and FC will indeed be highlights of your resume when seeking a challenging job or project The course offers step-by-step guide to learning of SVA and FC with plenty of real life applications to help you apply SVA and FC to your project in shortest possible time. SVA and FC helps critical aspect of Functional/Temporal domain coverage which is simply not possible with code coverage.

What you will learn
