FPGA design course syllabus: Vivado and Quartus flows
FPGA design builds on RTL skills: architecture, HDL coding, synthesis and implementation, timing constraints and debug on the Vivado and Quartus flows.
This page outlines the FPGA design training. FPGA design builds directly on RTL skills, so it pairs well with the Advanced RTL Design course. See the Advanced RTL Design course.
FPGA architecture
LUTs, flip-flops, block RAM, DSP blocks, clocking and I/O.
HDL for FPGA
Writing synthesizable Verilog or VHDL for FPGA targets.
FPGA design flow
Synthesis, implementation (place and route) and bitstream generation.
Timing constraints
Clock definitions, I/O constraints and timing closure.
Simulation and debug
Testbenches, waveform debug and on-chip debug techniques.
IP and interfaces
Using vendor IP blocks and common interfaces.
FPGA prototyping vs ASIC
How FPGA is used to prototype ASIC designs.
Project
An end-to-end FPGA design from specification to working implementation.
Who should join
B.E / B.Tech, M.E / M.Tech and M.Sc students and graduates in ECE, EEE and related branches, and working engineers moving into VLSI.
Roles this prepares you for
- FPGA Design Engineer
- RTL Design Engineer
- Embedded Hardware Engineer

Frequently asked questions
Which FPGA tools are covered?
The course follows the Vivado and Quartus design flows.
Is FPGA design useful for ASIC careers?
Yes. RTL coding, timing and verification skills carry over, and FPGAs are widely used to prototype ASICs.
Skills you will gain
- FPGA architecture
- HDL coding
- Timing constraints
- Implementation flow
- Debug
Project work
Project work is modelled on industry practice. Typical project themes:
- An FPGA design implemented end to end
Interview topics you will be ready for
- LUT-based logic
- Clock constraints in FPGA flows
- Block RAM vs distributed RAM
