Real Impact: Hear From Our Accomplished Alumni
Don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what our graduates are saying.
“The Architecture Mapping course was essential. It showed us exactly how to translate our complex FPGA IP for an ASIC flow. We saved months of redesign work.”
Sarah Jones
ASIC Design Lead, Broadcom
“I always struggled with timing. The STA for ASICs course gave me the confidence to constrain and close timing on a multi-gigahertz design. It was key to my role at Apple.”
Wei Zhang
Physical Design Engineer, Apple
“Our first ASIC conversion failed due to bugs found after manufacturing. The Verification & Equivalence course taught us formal methods that gave us 100% confidence on our next tape-out.”
Michael Brown
Sr. Verification Engineer, Intel
Your Questions, Answered
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main benefits of converting an FPGA to an ASIC?
The primary benefits are significantly lower unit cost at high volumes, higher performance due to a full-custom design, lower power consumption, and increased IP security as the design is no longer reconfigurable.
What is verification equivalence and why is it critical?
Verification equivalence, or formal equivalence checking, is a process that mathematically proves that the final ASIC design is logically identical to the original FPGA RTL. It’s critical to ensure that no functionality was broken during the conversion and optimization process, preventing costly silicon respins.
What kind of placement assistance is provided?
We offer comprehensive placement support including resume building, mock interviews with industry experts, and exclusive access to our network of over 200 hiring partners in the hardware and electronics industry. Our goal is to not just teach you, but to ensure you land your dream job.
