There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don't look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn't anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.

Customized Learning and Training Solution

"ARM processors have been a popular choice for all the applications like smartphones, IoT devices, AI accelerators, and many more that demand RISC processors. 
Chipmakers and Product companies like Apple, Samsung, and Qualcomm have been using ARM IPs extensively for their chips. 
Billions and billions of chips in the electronics market have been built using proven ARM IPs and it's very hard to find any chip that is not using ARM processors. "

Smartphone SoCs, IoT MCUs, Embedded MCUs, and Wearable devices use ARM processors. Knowing ARM technologies will help the VLSI engineers to get jobs in the semiconductor companies that create chips/MCUs for these applications.

In a Chip/IP with multiple clocks, clock domain crossing occurs whenever data is transferred from a flip-flop driven by one clock to a flip-flop driven by another clock. CDC Signals originate in one clock domain and sampled by registers in a different clock domain. Today’s System on Chip needs multiple clocks with increasing system integration, increasing peripherals & external interfaces and for power management.
This CDC module explains what is Clock Domain Crossing, how to avoid metastability, different kinds of synchronisers and CDC analysis.

Maven Silicon’s Corporate Training for World’s leading IP Vendor

New College Grads Program


World's leading IP Vendor 

We continue to hire a large number of New College Grads in our organization from several Tier-1 colleges across all of India. Transitioning them from campus to industry, training them on VLSI flows, and getting them to productive levels where they can contribute to critical projects in the shortest possible time has been a challenge, due to the restricted bandwidth of our internal tech leads and a lack of a uniform training program across teams. Our collaboration with Maven Silicon on the New college grad training program provided us the flexibility to customize their pre-curated VLSI curriculum. It helped us scale and their online mode of delivery helped us maintain a balance between in-house project-specific training and the general VLSI curriculum. This helped us reduce the time to project readiness of the young engineers and get them deployed on critical project tasks faster and productively. Their trainers are very knowledgeable, experienced, and student-friendly. I look forward to furthering collaboration with Maven for our future training needs.

NCG's training was becoming difficult due to the Internal SME’s/Leads hectic schedules. Without formal and structured training, new members were having a hard time getting up to speed. This was causing a backlog and leading to delays in projects.

Problem Statement

Productivity of the Internal leads/Managers increased

Faster Time to Deployment for the New Engineers from onboarding to project assignment due to the right skill fitment

Following the implementation of the tailored training and development program, the productivity of internal leads and managers increased by 15-20% in relation to their assigned projects. Additionally, the time required for new engineers to be onboarded and assigned to projects decreased by 20% due to improved skill fitment.



The results demonstrate that a well-designed program, tailored to the specific needs of a business and its workforce, can lead to substantial improvements in performance and results.


VLSI SoC Design Training Center - Maven Silicon

To achieve this objective, a co-curated curriculum was developed between the client and Maven Silicon. The delivery was structured in a blended mode, where pre-recorded videos were provided along with 3 days of trainer's connect per week. The focus was on hands-on practice, with 70% of the training time dedicated to practical work and close monitoring through attendance and performance reports at intervals. To enhance the learning experience, projects were made more complex, allowing trainees to better understand the actual work. A 360-degree performance report was provided for each trainee to inform business decision-making by the client.

A co-created curriculum was established between the client and Maven Silicon, utilizing a blended mode of delivery that included both pre-recorded sessions and weekly trainer connections. Each learner was provided with a structured day planner to follow, ensuring a consistent and organized learning experience. Regular assessments, mentor support, individual lab reviews, and project source code evaluations were conducted to track progress and enhance understanding. Assistance with project implementation and access to reference materials were also provided for seamless execution and learning. Finally, 360-degree performance reports were generated for each trainee to inform and support business decision-making.

Maven Silicon’s Corporate Training for World’s leader in mobility solutions

Bootcamp - New College Grads Program

World Leader in Mobility Technology Solutions 

The lack of time due to the busy schedules of SMEs/Leads led to the delay in the delivery of a structured training plan for the New College Grads. They were in search of an expert vendor who can take charge and deliver the best possible training services for the New Hires.


Reduction of time taken to market for client's R&D


The time to market was significantly reduced by 50%, from 6 months to just 3 months, a key metric improvement for client's R&D.

The program helped employees to quickly acquire the skills they need to contribute to client's R&D efforts, and led to more efficient and effective product development.

A thorough needs analysis was conducted with relevant stakeholders at client, resulting in a co-created curriculum with a blended delivery mode. A customized New College Grads training program was designed for client's employees.The program spanned over three months and included both pre-recorded videos and weekly live training sessions with four trainers. Assessments, knowledge checks, lab exercises, and source code reviews were conducted to track progress and provide updates to the business team. The program included topic and module-wise knowledge assessments, mentor support, individual lab reviews, and source code reviews. Trainees received assistance in project implementation and access to reference materials for effective learning and execution. A 360-performance report was submitted at the end of the training to inform business decisions.
