PRESENTATION ON VERILOG HARDWARE DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE
[attachment=56608]
INTRODUCTION TO VLSI
Fastest possible operations with minimum possible equipment size integrated circuit chips have become a popular choice for developers.
Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) based on logic density up to about 20,000 logic devices per cubic millimeter.
COMPANIES INVOLVED IN MANUFACTURING
XILINX
Xilinx is a leading manufacturer in the IC Technology.
Xilinx hardware requirement are-
Spartan Series
ALTERA
Altera is another manufacturer in the IC Technology.
Altera hardware requirement are-
ELT II(CPLD)
ESDK(FPGA)
ORIGIN OF VERILOG HDL
Need for a standard language to describe digital circuits.
Hardware description languages such as Verilog HDL and VHDL became popular.
Verilog HDL originated in 1983 at Gateway Design Automation.
VHDL[2] was developed under contract from DARPA.
Quickly gained acceptance from designers to simulate large digital circuits .
FEATURES OF VERILOG
1.General-purpose hardware description language that is easy to learn and easy to use.
2.It is similar in syntax to the C programming language.
3.Levels of abstraction to be mixed in the same model.
4. A designer can define a hardware model in terms of switches, gates, RTL, or behavioral code.
5. A designer needs to learn only one language for stimulus and hierarchical design.
