Vhdl - KAEL9M06

Goal(s)

This course introduces the hardware description language VHDL. It offers different tools to learn the multiple design possibilities provided by VHDL.

Following this course, students will be able to:

• Model electronic systems with VHDL
• Design synchronous circuits as finite-state machines
• Understand logical synthesis and essential constructs used in the design flow
• Verify theory with practical examples (simulation)

Content(s)

1. Modeling and simulation of electronic systems
2. Principles of VHDL language
3. Model structure and data types
4. Data flow and structural VHDL description levels
5. Concurrent and sequential instructions
6. Sequential and combinatorial logic circuits
7. Advanced aspects: packaging, subroutines, generics and generate statements, conversion functions

• Basic knowledge of digital electronic systems
• Programming basics
• Basic knowledge of Boolean algebra
• Notions of combinatorial and sequential circuits
