Initially, Verilog and VHDL, known as hardware description languages (HDLs), were high-level ways for engineers and chip designers to simulate and test their designs. They would describe the logical ...

Add a description, image, and links to the hardware-description-language topic page so that developers can more easily learn about it.

Abstract: Hardware design languages (HDLs) allow computer hardware to be described in sufficient detail to be simulated and built, such a description being at a sufficiently high level of abstraction ...

Abstract: This chapter contains sections titled: Example, Conventions, Loading Chips into the Hardware Simulator, Chip Header (Interface), Chip Body (Implementation), Built-In Chips, Sequential Chips, ...

Increasing complexity in the design of VLSI circuits has led to the introduction of high-level hardware description languages (HDLs) for the design phase. The evolving international standard is VHDL, ...

Design teams can use a hardware description language to design at any level of abstraction, from high level architectural models to low-level switch models. These levels, from least amount of detail ...

This course will give you the foundation for using Hardware Description Languages, specifically VHDL and Verilog for Logic Design. You will learn the history of both VHDL and Verilog and how to use ...

In this paper, we introduce a new high-level, dataflow programming language called C~ (“C flow”) that further increases productivity by raising the level of abstraction from behavioral descriptions, ...
