Hi

Gentle reminder about below 2 programs

1) Hardware design Program ($999) (Last 15 hours)

2) Udemy ($9-$10/course) (Last 24 hours)

1) Hardware design Program ($999) (Last 15 hours)
There is a hardware design program ($999) which is lab-intensive, mentor-based, and 10 weeks, which can improve your chances of placement and jobs in design companies like Qualcomm, Nvidia, Google, and other top service companies and also your chances of tape-out an IP with SKY130

Popular Project codes - RPDS, PCVRPD, ESSY (Search these codes in the above link for more details)

2) Udemy ($9-$10/course) (Last 24 hours) (Course Links are hyperlinked with Course Name. Click on any course name below to access the course)

Udemy (less paid) is theory and labs, which you need to do with self-learning. The order in which you need to take the courses is given below along with their discounted links

Tips on the order in which you need to learn VLSI and become a CHAMPION (Re-iterating):

If I would have been you, I would have started with the Physical Design course where I understand the entire flow first then would have moved to CTS-1 and CTS-2 to look into details of how the clock is been built.Then, as you all know how crosstalk impacts functioning at lower nodes, I would go for a Signal Integrity course to understand the impacts of scaling and fix them

Once I do that, I would want to know how to analyze the performance of my design and I would have to go for STA-1, STA-2 and Timing ECO webinar courses, respectively

Once you STA, there’s an internal curiosity which rises and wants us to understand, what goes inside timing analysis at the transistor level. To fulfil that, I would have taken Circuit design and SPICE simulations Part 1 and Part 2 courses

And finally, to understand pre-placed cells, IPs and STA in even more detail, I would have taken a custom layout course and Library Characterization course

All of the above needs to be implemented using a CAD tool and needs to be done faster, for which I would have written TCL or Perl scripts. So for that, I would start to learn TCL-Part1 and TCL-Part2 courses, at the very beginning or in middle

Finally, if I want to learn RTL and synthesis, from specifications to layout, the RISC-V ISA course will teach the best way to define specs for a complex system like a microprocessor

Hope you enjoy the session best of luck in future
