The data objects in VHDL and Verilog form expression operands. Knowing the operand differences between the two HDLs helps you write more efficient chip-design code. Expressions consist of operators ...

With the advent of advanced HDLs – such as SystemVerilog – that provide new and powerful language constructs, current hardware modeling styles can now be enhanced both in terms of abstraction level ...

We always marvel at how open-source tools can often outstrip their commercial counterparts. Yosys, the open-source tool for Verilog synthesis, is a good example. Although the Xilinx ISE design suite ...

Overview of digital logic design. Implementation technologies, timing in combinational and sequential circuits, EDA tools, basic arithmetic units, introduction to simulation and synthesis using ...

WALTHAM, Mass.--May 11, 2006--Bluespec Inc. today released the latest version of its electronic system level (ESL) Synthesis software, offering a practical delivery vehicle for intellectual property ...

This paper describes the history of the Verilog hardware description language (HDL), including its influential predecessors and successors. Since its creation in 1984 and first sale in 1985, Verilog ...

Thanks to collaboration between The MathWorks and Mentor Graphics, MathWorks’ Simulink HDL Coder users gain a smooth path into synthesis. Mentor’s Precision Synthesis tool now supports HDL generated ...
