Advanced VHDL course

Advanced VHDL & Hardware Design course intended for VHDL designers who would like to acquire comprehensive skills both in digital hardware design using VHDL for synthesis and in test bench development using advanced simulation constructs for better verification.
The objective is to increase engineers productivity by enhancing their VHDL coding and development skills.

Participants must have background in VHDL design including practical experience in designing at least 1 complete device, with testing, simulation & synthesis.

The 2 day course is instructed at SELA School (Near Ramat-Gan mall) by SITAL Technology.
