Verilog is a hardware description language (HDL) used to model electronic systems. Verilog is most commonly used in the design, verification, and implementation of digital logic chips at the Register transfer level (RTL) level of abstraction.
Doulos training credentials
Doulos has set the industry standard for Verilog training since it delivered one of the world's first independent classes in 1992. Since then, over 500 companies across the world have chosen Doulos' Verilog design expertise to get their engineers project-ready, enhance their design skills and improve productivity.
- Train using the tools of your choice
Because Doulos is an independent company, you benefit from learning Verilog using the EDA tools of your choice. And because we aren't aligned to any particular vendor, you'll learn coding styles that maximise the portability of code between EDA tools, rather than approaches tuned to a particular tool. (Unless of course we're delivering in-house training, in which case the training is tailored to your specific design context). Tools supported by these courses include:
Simulation
- Aldec Active HDL™ & Riviera-PRO™
- Cadence Incisive®
- Mentor Graphics ModelSim® & Questa®
- Synopsys VCS®
Synthesis
- Synopsys Synplify Pro®
- Synopsys Design Compiler®
- Mentor Graphics Precision® RTL
- Get the best project reference material
We've all been on a training class that squeezes too much detail on to a slide, jumps around the subject, and supplies class notes that you can't easily reference after the class.....Doulos training materials are not like that! Tutor's notes accompany the slides, an index makes them an excellent project reference, and our famous Verilog Golden Reference Guide has 198 pages packed with syntax, hints, tips and practical advice. Doulos training materials really are sought after references in their own right.
- Learn faster and more easily
Doulos tutors make learning easier, faster, and enjoyable! Experienced design engineers themselves, they combine a talent for teaching with indepth understanding and experience of real world design issues and solutions. And, drawing on nearly 20 years of Doulos' corporate training experience, our tutors really know what it takes to create and deliver effective training.
- Customize in-house training to match your requirements
Doulos excels at tailoring in-house training to meet your exact training needs - including tool and technology focus. You'll find us very easy to work with - flexible, professional and with a guarantee of the expert technical interaction you need to ensure you get the best for your team, and the most from your budget.
Verilog training programs
- Essential Digital Design Techniques
Essential Digital Design Techniques provides the ideal first stage in full scale project training for graduate design engineers, or engineers moving into digital design from other disciplines (including software or analog design). As such, it is the natural precursor to the Doulos Comprehensive VHDL class. With a strong emphasis on practical design and hands-on workshops, this class has been developed to significantly cut the on-the-job learning curve by capturing design techniques usually learned over months, in an intensive 2-day class.

- Fast-track Verilog for VHDL Users
Fast-track Verilog for VHDL Users is an intensive 2-day conversion-training course teaching the application of the Verilog® Hardware Description Language for programmable logic and ASIC design. It is suitable for engineers who have already attended the Comprehensive VHDL course or are well practised in VHDL based design.

- Comprehensive Verilog
Comprehensive Verilog has been the industry's gold standard Verilog training class since 1992 because it's the fastest, most effective way to get project-ready. You'll gain the expertise you need to write efficient, re-usable RTL code, and create test benches powerful enough to cope with complex designs.

- Expert Verilog
Expert Verilog teaches engineers how to increase productivity by enhancing their Verilog coding and application skills. Presented in two distinct modules, this 4 day intensive class focuses on language and synthesis issues, design re-use, test benches and the latest verification techniques. Each module also includes an overview of the 2001, 2005 and SystemVerilog extensions to Verilog, with an assessment of their impact on both design and verification
Expert Verilog Design (days-1-2) teaches you to write better, more efficient code that is easier to maintain and re-use. Design for verification is also covered with an introduction to assertion-based techniques using the delegate's choice of SVA or PSL.
Expert Verilog Verification (days 3-4) shows you how to speed up and improve design verification; make testbench writing easier and more effective; design testbenches with flexibility and re-use in mind; and create behavioural models to make your testbenches more realistic and more productive.

- Comprehensive SystemVerilog
Based on the Verilog® hardware description language, the SystemVerilog language extensions enhance Verilog in a number of areas, providing productivity improvements for RTL designers, verification engineers and for those involved in system design and architecture. Comprehensive SystemVerilog addresses the needs of both design and verification groups and includes objective and up-to-date commentary on the two best-known published verification methodology approaches, and teaches the key SystemVerilog language features that support them.

- Essential Perl
Perl is a widely-used cross-platform programming language, which is especially valuable to engineers targeting ASICs and and large FPGAs. Perl's process, file, and text manipulation facilities, in particular, enable skilled users to achieve a range of productivity boosting short-cuts, and avoid easy-to-make mistakes that are time consuming to fix. Essential Perl, unlike other Perl classes, is focused on the needs of EDA users. It covers the essential subset of the Perl5 scripting language and is packed with design related exercises and examples including: patching netlists, filtering reports, generating test vectors, and running tools.

- Essential Tcl/Tk
Tcl/Tk is a powerful way to manage your design process, automate otherwise error-prone and time-consuming tasks and achieve valuable gains in efficiency and productivity. Every VHDL user and EDA support specialist needs to know about Tcl. Unlike the numerous Tcl text books and classes available, the Doulos Essential Tcl/Tk class is focused on the needs of EDA users, and it's packed full of examples and exercises directly based on design related problems.
