Course Description
Semiconductor ICs and SoCs increasingly include both digital and analog IP. As such, mixed-signal verification is a sign-off requirement and accurate, high-speed models are needed to achieve that. IEEE 1800 SystemVerilog includes constructs to support these models known collectively as Real Number Modeling (SV-RNM).
This advanced course consists of 27 video modules and associated code examples for the lab exercises that will provide you with comprehensive SV-RNM modeling knowledge. The videos explain the key concepts and demonstrate tool and model operation. Associated lab exercises challenge you to apply your new knowledge in real design situations. In total, the course covers fundamental techniques of modeling analog and RF behaviors, modeling applications in a variety of common circuit types, top-down design and verification methodologies, and the proper use of advanced SystemVerilog language capabilities in mixed signal system verification.
This Instructor-led course blends online course and features additional interactive virtual office hours interaction with knowledgeable Cadence Engineers. These two-hour sessions feature review of material in the videos, live walk-throughs of examples and lab exercise solutions, and free-form Question and Answer time on topics covered in the videos, and other Real Number Modeling topics. The virtual office hours, will generally be spaced over 11 weeks to give students plenty of time to engage with the course on their own. Students taking the instructor led sessions can also receive, on request, a personalized download of all presentation slides used in the videos for their future reference.
