abstract
As integrated circuit technology has improved to allow more and more
components on a chip, digital systems have continued to grow in complexity. As digital
systems have become more complex, detailed design of the systems at the gate and
flip-flop level has become very tedious and time consuming. For this reason, use of
hardware description languages in the digital design process continues to grow in
importance. A hardware description language allows a digital system to be designed
and debugged at a higher level before conversion to the gate and flip-flop level. Use of
synthesis CAD tools to do this conversion, is becoming more widespread. This is
analogous to writing software programs in a high level language such as C, and then
using a compiler to convert the programs to machine language. The two most popular
hardware description languages are VHDL and Verilog.
