In 2019, Viettel High Technology Industry Corporation (VHT) was established

based on merging 3 units under Viettel Group including:
• Viettel Research and Development Institute (Viettel R&D)
• Viettel Network Technology Research Center (Vttek)
• Viettel Microchip Research and Development Center.
The history of formation and development of us since its predecessor, Viettel High
Technology Industries Corporation was established, can be divided into four
phases:
-State 1: 2011 - 2013 Newly set up, Viettel High Technology Industries

4
Corporation self-researched and developed products and put into the actual testing
process in the units in the Army.
-State 2: 2014 - 2016From a research only unit to become a research combined with
production and sale unit
-State 3: 2017 - 2018 Own core technology, building international processes and
standards, apply 4.0 industry (AI, big data) to create products that meet all needs of
customers, which lead to the way of international business.
-State 4: From 01/2019 Viettel Group reorganized its structure and announced the
establishment of Viettel Hi-Tech Industries Corporation (VHT) which operates in
three main areas: military technology, information technology and civilian
equipment.

Three main business areas:

• Military: VHT researches and develops Defense Technology - High-tech products
according to the C5ISR combat model. Modern combat models are applied in many
countries with advanced military science in the world.
• Civil: VHT research and production's telecommunications network and digital
society infrastructure products contribute to solving Vietnam's problems and create
spillover effects throughout society.
• Telecommunications: With strength in technological capacity, VHT's products
contribute to building a safe society where everything is intelligently connected.

Culture philosophy:
1) Practice is the standard test of truth
2) Grow comes from challenges and failures
3) Rapid adaptation is the key for competition
4) Innovation is vitality
5) Systematically thinking
6) Combination Eastern and Western culture
7) Apply the manner of soldiers
8) Viettel is the second family

 CHAPTER 2: PROFESSIONAL PROCESS
During two-week internship Viettel High Tech , I worked at the FPGA team.
Two main tasks that I perform are listed below:
- Review the theory of combinational circuits, sequential circuits, FSM,
distinguish blocking, non-blocking, and Timing analysis from Textbook
provided by the company.
- Practicing Avnet labs and Xilinx documentation to get familiar with Xilinx
FPGA boards.

2. Result of the internship

I successfully completed my assigned task, which involved engaging with eight

laboratory sessions designed to enhance my proficiency with the FPGA board.
Initially, I devoted the first few days to revisiting and solidifying my theoretical
foundation. This period of intensive study allowed me to thoroughly master the
essential knowledge, which will undoubtedly support my expertise in future
projects.

Additionally, I actively sought suggestions from my teammates, resulting in
invaluable guidance from my group members. Their dedicated support enabled
me to identify and rectify mistakes that I might not have recognized without the
practical experience gained at VHT.

Moreover, I had the opportunity to familiarize myself with advanced

technologies during my efforts to fulfill the primary objective of the project.
This exposure has significantly enriched my practical skills and technical
acumen, further preparing me for complex challenges in my field.

CHAPTER 3: PRACTICAL EXPERIENCES

1. For my major
My internship at Viettel High Tech significantly enriched my understanding of
my major, particularly in the field of FPGA technology. During this period, I
revisited and thoroughly reviewed fundamental FPGA theories that I had
encountered during my university studies. These theories included
combinational and sequential circuits, finite state machines, the distinction
between blocking and non-blocking assignments, and timing analysis. This
review process was crucial in reinforcing my academic knowledge, allowing
me to approach these concepts with a more practical and applied perspective.

The internship provided an excellent opportunity to translate theoretical

knowledge into practice through eight comprehensive laboratory sessions
focused on the practical applications of FPGA boards. Each session was
designed to address different aspects of FPGA utilization, from basic
configurations to more complex implementations. These hands-on experiences
were instrumental in solidifying the theoretical knowledge I had gained at
university. Working directly with FPGA boards allowed me to better
understand the intricacies of circuit design and implementation, which are often
difficult to grasp fully through theory alone.

Furthermore, the collaborative environment at Viettel High Tech facilitated

continuous learning and improvement. I frequently sought suggestions and
feedback from my teammates, who provided invaluable guidance. This
collaborative effort not only helped me identify and rectify mistakes but also
exposed me to diverse approaches and solutions, enhancing my problem-
solving skills. The support from my colleagues was instrumental in navigating
the challenges I encountered during the practical sessions, ensuring that I could
apply the theoretical concepts effectively.

Exposure to advanced FPGA technologies and tools during the internship

played a significant role in bridging the gap between academic learning and
real-world applications. By working on practical tasks and projects, I gained a

9
deeper appreciation of the complexities and challenges involved in FPGA
technology. This experience has not only reinforced my technical capabilities
but also provided me with a more holistic understanding of the field. The
combination of theoretical review and practical application has been invaluable
in enhancing my expertise and confidence in working with FPGA technology.

2. For my future career

The internship at Viettel High Tech is poised to have a profound impact on my
future career in FPGA technology. The hands-on experience with advanced
FPGA tools and real-world applications has significantly enhanced my practical
skills, making me a competitive candidate for future job opportunities.

Moreover, the collaborative environment and guidance from experienced

teammates have honed my problem-solving and teamwork abilities, which are
essential in any professional setting. This exposure has prepared me to tackle
complex challenges in the industry with confidence.

This comprehensive experience at Viettel High Tech has equipped me with the
necessary skills and knowledge to excel in the dynamic field of FPGA
technology.

CHAPTER 4: CONCLUSION
The internship was a good chance for me to interact with electronic jobs,
especially FPGA field. I provided me an intensive understanding and practical
experience. During the internship, I expanded a lot of new knowledge and skills
and worked with experienced engineers who were my instructors.

Thanks to the internship, I could find out my strengths and weaknesses, which
helped me identify what knowledge, skills and techniques that I need to enhance
in the future. In addition, the internship provided me plenty of new insight and
motivation to adapt to the work environment and feel more confident for the
future job in FPGA field.

Once again, I would like to thank the Danang University of Science and
Technology, supervisor (Ms. Nguyen Quang Nhu Quynh) at the DUT and
mentor (Mr. Vo Thanh Van) at the VHT.
