About this title

Synopsis

An introduction to VHDL, clarifying the language by presenting a subset of VHDL so readers can quickly start writing models. It presents the most common usage instead of describing the complete syntax of language constructs. Describing the basic elements of the language, the author includes a quick tutorial to demonstrate the primary modelling features. It also provides illustrative examples that explain the different formulations of the language constructs and their semantics.

From the Publisher

VHDL is an IEEE standard as well as an ANSI standard language for describing digital designs--but it is a large and verbose language with many complex constructs that have complex semantic meaning, and is difficult to understand initially. (VDHL is often quoted as an acronym for Very Hard Description Language!) This primer--updated to include the new standard just released by the IEEE (IEEE Std 1076-1993)--uses a subset of the language to introduce VDHL to readers at the beginner's level. It explains the complex constructs of the language using an example-based approach. Covers topics such as basic language elements, behavioral modeling, dataflow modeling, structural modeling, generics and configurations, subprograms and overloading, packages and libraries, advanced features, model simulation, and hardware modeling examples. For both hardware and software designers interested in learning VHDL.
