Who Should Attend a Training Course?
All users of Xilinx products should attend one of our training courses.
Attending a Xilinx training course is one of the fastest and most efficient
ways to learn how to design with FPGA devices from Xilinx. Hands-on
expert instruction with the latest information and software will allow
you to implement your own designs in less time with more effective use
of the devices.
Classes are held regularly in centers around the world and can even
be brought to your own facility.
Not only design engineers, but also test engineers, component engineers,
CAD engineers, technicians, and engineering managers may want to attend
the course in order to understand the Xilinx products.
What You Will Learn
Not only will you learn about our products, but we will also recommend
the best ways to use the software based on our years of experience with
thousands of designs. You will learn how to efficiently enter, implement,
and verify your design. You can use the Xilinx automatic mode or
take a power-user approach and guide the automatic tools to the best implementation
of your design.
Prerequisites
Students need only have a background in digital logic design. Basic
familiarity with the PC or workstation is helpful but not required.
It will benefit you to learn your design entry tool of choice before attending
the Xilinx course.
If you would like to prepare for the training course to maximize your
learning, you should complete the tutorials available in the development
system. There are tutorials available for the third-party tools for
which Xilinx sells the interface.
Benefits
Make Fewer Design Iterations
By learning the proper approach, you will save time and expense in
prototyping and debugging designs. However, if you do need to make
changes to your design, you will learn how to do this quickly and efficiently.
Get to Market Faster
Getting your product to market faster is probably one of the key reasons
you are using Xilinx products in the first place. Studies have shown
that time-to-market often has a greater effect on profits than development
costs. Training will allow you to get your product to market on schedule,
allowing your company to reap the rewards that follow.
Reduce Your Learning Time
Extensive Xilinx documentation and tutorials provide the information
you need to complete your design. But attending the training course
for focused, interactive learning is faster than a question-and-answer
approach on your own. Instead of interruptions and piecemeal self-education,
you will quickly become your company's expert in Xilinx designs.
Lower Production Costs
By learning how to use the device effectively, you may be able to get
more logic into a smaller device, and/or operate at a higher speed.
As a result, you may be able to save on the cost of the device itself and
the surrounding logic on your board.
Increase Quality
Effective verification techniques will prove the quality of your Xilinx-based
design. Higher quality leads to less maintenance and repair costs,
and improved customer satisfaction.
Time and Cost Savings
Attending a Xilinx training course is an investment that will pay for itself
with the first Xilinx design that you begin. The courses are fast-paced,
each providing as much information as possible in the short time available.
Hands-on experiences throughout the courses make sure that the information
is retained and applied to practical applications. Just as Xilinx
products reduce your development time, attending a training course can reduce
your design time. The person attending the course will be an in-house
expert who can be utilized by other members of your company.
You can reduce your travel costs by attending a class scheduled in your
area or having the course brought right to your facility. The tuition
pays for the course notes and expert, in-person instruction, which can
be priceless when trying to meet a schedule.
