The DSP Design Flow course provides the advanced tools and expertise you need to develop advanced, low-cost DSP designs.
This intermediate course in implementing DSP functions focuses on learning how to use System Generator for DSP, design implementation tools, HDL co-simulation, and hardware-in-the-loop verification. Through hands-on exercises, you will implement a design from algorithm concept to hardware verification by using Xilinx FPGA capabilities.
