Professional FPGA
The PLC2 workshop »Professional FPGA« teaches the beginner or returning user how the building blocks of a Spartan™/Virtex™ device work and in which way the available resources can optimally be used.
This class emphasizes the description of the fundamental architectural elements of the recent Spartan™/Virtex™ FPGA technologies. After an initial overview, a detailed discussion of the different functional blocks such as for example the Configurable Logic Block (CLB), I/O-Block (IOB) for source- and system synchronous signal transmission in single or double data rate modes, DSP, etc.
Naturally, due to its special importance, the clock distribution system gets discussed in-depth. Moreover, dedicated hardware blocks (e.g., GTP and PCIe®) get briefly discussed. Besides, adapted coding techniques are a topic, to get the most possible out of synthesis by using optimum coding for the target technology. The underlying instructions of the programming language VHDL as well as the standard proceeding for implementing an FPGA design are not the topic of this workshop. Please refer to PLC2 workshops like »Compact VHDL for Synthesis«, »Compact VHDL for Simulation« or »Professional VHDL«.
Due to accompanying exercises, the course offers in-depth and practice-oriented training. Attendees of the online live training will perform the practical exercises in real time with instructor assistance.

FAQ
01. Can you help me with reserving the room?
If you need a room for a face-to-face course, please contact us. We will support you in choosing suitable accommodation.
02. What times in the day do courses start and end?
Our face-to-face and online courses start daily at 9 a.m. (CET/CEST) and end at 5 p.m., with two coffee breaks and an extended lunch break. The total course time per day is 6 hours.
03. Are course materials provided?
All participants of paid courses will receive English training materials in electronic or paper form.
04. Will I receive a course certificate?
Each participant of a paid PLC2 course will receive a signed certificate of attendance at the end of the course.
05. Can I pay with Training Credits (TCs)?
Of course, you can also pay for your training using your available TCs (Training Credits). We will then invoice AMD directly. If you do not have sufficient credit for the booked training, the difference can be paid for with an additional payment. The additional charge will be invoiced directly to you.
06. What are the options for payment?
You can pay us via bank transfer or with TCs (Training Credits). Unfortunately, payment via debit, credit card, or PayPal is not possible.
07. What is the deadline for payment?
Payment is due 14 days after the invoice date, without deduction. Please transfer the amount within that time.
08. What are the options for cancelling?
You can cancel free of charge up to 14 days before the course starts. If you have to cancel at short notice due to illness or other reasons, you have the option of adding a substitute participant or of making up the course at a later date (within 6 months).
09. When will I receive a firm commitment as to whether the course will take place?
You will receive binding confirmation 7 days before the course begins as to whether it will go ahead.
10. How many participants are required for a course to be given/what is the minimum number of participants?
We generally offer courses for 5 or more people. That means that if you would like to book a course at your premises, you need 5 people to register or need to pay the amount for 5 participants, even if fewer people attend.
11. Can I book a course that is given in English?
If you need a course that is officially advertised as given in German to be given in English, please contact us. We will try to make that possible for you.
12. What language is the course in?
Our webinars and online courses are conducted in English. All our F2F training courses are generally conducted in German. Feel free to contact us if you need face-to-face training in English or online training in German.
