Abstract

Electric engineers can use VHDL for hardware design because it offers the benefit of designing at a higher level of abstraction. VHDL and other HDL improves productivity by allowing engineers to work with logic operations rather than circuit diagrams. VHDL also improves documentation and quality and encourages simulation.<br />As your designs become more complex it becomes more efficient to use tools that allow you to design at a higher level of abstraction. Hardware-description languages, such as VHDL, are [...]
