Study Notes
HDL Design Flow
- Synthesis follows RTL design in the HDL flow.
- Verification ensures the design meets its specifications by simulating and testing the design.
- Simulation is used to test and debug HDL designs, with common tools including ModelSim, Verilog, and VCS.
- Place and Route is part of the Physical Design stage which comes after synthesis.
- Synthesis converts RTL code into a netlist, which is a description of the circuit's logical connections.
- Optimization techniques like pipelining improve performance by breaking down complex operations into smaller, parallel stages.
HDL Code Examples
- Verilog NOT gate (inverter):
module not_gate (input in, output out);
assign out = ~in;
endmodule
HDL Verification
- Verification aims to ensure the designed hardware functions correctly by simulating and testing its behavior against expected results.
HDL Benefits
- HDL simplifies design by using a higher-level description of logic circuits, instead of directly specifying transistors, making it easier to design and modify complex digital systems.
Popular HDLs
- Verilog and VHDL are the most common Hardware Description Languages used in digital design.
