Course Overview

AMBA Protocol training is structured to enable engineers gain perfection in AXI, AHB & APB protocols. Majority of designs are based on ARM architecture. All ARM architectures are based on AMBA protocols(AXI, AHB and APB), which makes it essential for every design & verification engineer to have detailed understanding of these protocols. SoC design debug and testbench component coding in most cases involves either AXI and/or AHB protocols, and also majority of interviews are focused on candidate familiarity with AXI or AHB protocol. All this makes it essential for every VLSI engineer to have good working knowledge of these protocols.

AMBA Protocol training course focuses on teaching protocol concepts, features, timing diagrams from basic to advanced for AXI4.0, AHB2.0 and APB. Course also focus on teaching protocol testbench development concepts. Student has flexibility to choose specific protocol as well.

    Resume Preparation

Teacher is an important part of anybody's education.

I completed my post graduation in 2005. During my school and College, I always had difficulty coping up with things in classroom. But my Telugu teacher Mr. Hussain Budde during my 7th class , I used to enjoy his way of teaching, way he used to engage students by teaching lessons as stories. After that, I never found any teacher who kept sessions so much engaging. I don't want to blame my teachers, I always felt they could make sessions more engaging. I always had to spend time outside class hours to cope up with every minute of classroom session.

I as a teacher, I adopt a style of teaching which keeps session engaging and ensures that students give 100% focus on the session. I always wanted to be that one teacher, whom my students will remember for lifetime. I am making sure that, rest of trainer's also follow same.

I want your 6 months of education at VLSIGuru to be among your best learning experiences. We at VLSIGuru will do our best to make this a memorable time.
