Program Highlights
About the Foundation Certificate Program in SoC Design from iHub, IIT Roorkee
The Foundation Certificate Program in SoC Design from iHub, IIT Roorkee equips students and early career professionals with the fundamentals of VLSI and System on Chip (SoC) design. The program covers essential concepts such as processor architectures, memory subsystems, interconnects, and interfaces, providing the knowledge required to understand modern chip design.
Learners explore the complete SoC ASIC design flow, from VLSI design methodology and process technology to basic fabrication concepts. Verilog HDL is introduced for digital logic modeling, while computer architecture, ARM and RISC-V instruction sets, memories, cache, operating systems, and standard SoC protocols are explained to illustrate the interaction between hardware and software. FPGA concepts and practical case studies tie together theory with real-world design scenarios.
This online program includes self-paced and live sessions, master classes from IIT faculty and industry experts, 24/7 lab and EDA tool access, iHUB DivyaSampark IIT Roorkee certification, and a hands-on capstone project to provide a holistic learning experience in SoC design.
