Digital hardware design typically is done using a specialized language, called a hardware description language (HDL). This approach is based on the idea that hardware design has unique requirements.

In an earlier blog, I took it upon myself to declare field programmable analog arrays (FPAAs) a technology that is dead on arrival. In Field Programmable Analog & Gallium Arsenide, I drew a ...

Spade is an open-source hardware description language (HDL) developed at Linköping University, Sweden. Other HDLs you might have heard of include Verilog and VHDL. Hardware engineers use HDLs to ...

The virtual validation of subsystem performances (Pop-up Noise, Signal-to-Noise Ratio, Power supply Noise, Power consumption...) requires the modeling and simulation of complete subsystems.

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 ...

The first time I came into contact with the concepts of a digital hardware description language (HDL) and digital logic simulation, I inherently understood how it all “worked.” The idea that the ...

Clearly, hardware-description language-based methodologies increasingly are a hindrance to simulation and verification. It's time for designers, as they did a decade ago, to consider moving up a level ...

I recently attended an invited talk by a senior manager of a design group within a large networking company. He described the group’s verification flow and it quickly became obvious that hardware ...
