Physical Design Training

Physical Design Training is a 12 weeks course(+4 weeks for freshers covering TCL, UNIX OS and Advanced Digital Design concepts) structured to enable aspiring engineers get in-depth knowledge of all aspects of Physical design flow from Netlist to GDSII including Floor planning, Placement, power planning, scan chain reordering, global routing, clock tree synthesis, power analysis and ECO. Course also involves multiple hands on projects using Cadence Implementation flow. It is among widely used PnR flow in industry.

Physical Design training program is well illustrated and supported with real-time examples from the industry. Floorplanning, Placement and Routing, Clock Tree Synthesis, Final Routing and Timing Closure forms the core of the Physical Design Training program structure. Thorough and micro level wide understanding of the concepts across all the Physical Design flow would be the key highlight of this program. Complete Theory Sessions and complementing Lab Sessions with projects (at least two) on Million Gate Design from Netlist to GDSII, guided well by expert trainer are offered for every candidate of this Physical Design Training program.

Physical Design Training is supported using 15+ assignments covering all aspects of physical design implementation concepts including practical aspects. These assignments cover more than 90% of questions asked in interviews. These will solved as part of course lectures. Student will have 6 months access to tool from date of course registration. Student has option to connect to servers from home using VPN.

VLSIGuru Institute is setup in 2012, helped 500+ students find right opportunities. VLSIGuru offers most affordable Physical Design Training in Bangalore. Bachelors and Masters of Engineering Students fresh out of graduation and ASIC Design Engineers who are in other areas of Implementation spectrum such as Front-End Logic Synthesis or Front-End STA can take this Physical Design course to make themselves completely equipped and industry ready. Online Physical Design Training is offered for students based out of Bangalore.
