About this course
This Chip based VLSI design for Industrial Applications course covers the essential building blocks for designing integrated circuits. You begin with the Fundamentals of Digital Design for VLSI Chip Design, learning core concepts that underpin all modern chip architecture. The course then moves into practical application, teaching you how to use the Electric VLSI EDA Tool for VLSI chip design and simulation. This helps you understand how chips are designed and tested in a real-world environment.
Offered by L&T EduTech on Coursera, this specialization takes a hands-on approach to FPGA design. You learn VHDL programming to design digital circuits, a key skill for hardware description. The curriculum also focuses on mastering FPGA architecture and building FPGA Architecture Based Systems for Industrial Application. This includes integrating these systems with IoT (Internet of Things) applications, preparing you for roles in industrial automation and embedded systems.
Upon completing this 2-month beginner-level specialization, you will be able to design and simulate VLSI chips using industry-relevant tools. You gain proficiency in VHDL programming for digital circuit creation. The course equips you to master FPGA architecture and apply these skills to develop robust systems for various industrial uses, including IoT integration. This course has a rating of 4.5 based on 197 reviews.
While this course provides a strong foundation in VLSI design and FPGA applications, it is structured for beginners and does not offer university credit. If you are exploring other options, consider VLSI Design on Udemy. This alternative is also a beginner-level course, is available for free, and holds a rating of 4.4 from 683 reviews.
