Course Overview

VLSI Signal Processing Certification is important for the future as digital signal processing (DSP) has emerged as the single most key component in all electronic applications such as multimedia and mobile communications, video compression, network cameras, smartphones, radar imaging, GPS, biomedical signal processing, etc to name just a few. 

VLSI Signal Processing Classes will start with topics such as the graphical representation of DSP algorithms. Also covering graphs used like Signal Flow Graph (SFG), Data Flow Graph (DFG), and lastly dependence graph.

All students get a VLSI Signal Processing Certification from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur (IIT Kharagpur) under the Swayam Initiative by the Government of India.

What you will learn

Knowledge of electronics

Students enrolling for the VLSI Signal Processing Certification Course cover topics that can overcome the electronic applications that impose several challenges in the implementation of DSP systems, like the capability to process high to very high throughput data as demanded by the real-time application, requiring less power and less chip area among others.

VLSI Signal Processing Training introduces the students to the main features of VLSI (Very-large-scale Integration) Signal Processing and the ongoing developments in Digital Signal Processing (DSP) processors and architectures that includes several examples and case studies of existing DSP chips. Learn more about it in Electrical And Electronics Engineering Certification Courses.

After completion of this VLSI Signal Processing Certification Syllabus, the learning outcomes include:

  • Review the different processors including architecture and organization 
  • Ability to handle and design different types of pipelining techniques
  • Understand various memory organization and management techniques 
  • Understand the various advanced architectures.
