    Study Notes

    Hardware Description Language (HDL)

    • A set of notations used for modeling the logical function of digital circuits and systems
    • Similar to software programming languages, used to describe a circuit using words and symbols
    • Allows for development of software that can convert textual description into configuration data loaded into Programmable Logic Devices (PLDs)

    Programmable Logic Devices (PLDs)

    • Examples include FPGAs and others
    • Field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is an integrated circuit designed to be configured as "field-programmable" by a customer or a designer after manufacturing
    • Consists of:
      • IOB – Input/Output Block (Programmable pins)
      • CLB – Configuration Logic Block (Programmable Gates)

    HDL Code Characteristics

    • Resembles high-level programming languages such as C or Python
    • Statements in HDL code involve parallel operation, whereas programming languages represent sequential operation
    • Describes digital hardware, and separate portions of this hardware can operate simultaneously
    • Written using a top-to-bottom organization, but executes in parallel

    Example of HDL Code

    • Entity declaration: entity Circuit_1 is
    • Port declaration: Port ( a : in STD_LOGIC; b : in STD_LOGIC; out1 : out STD_LOGIC);
    • Architecture declaration: architecture Behavioral of Circuit_1 is
    • Begin statement: begin out1
