Chapter 4 :: Topics Introduction Combinational Logic Structural Modeling Sequential Logic More Combinational Logic Finite State Machines Parameterized Modules Testbenches Introduction Hardware description language (HDL): allows designer to specify logic function only. Then a computer-aided design (CAD) tool produces the optimized gates. Most commercial designs built using HDLs Two leading HDLs: Verilog developed in 1984 by Gateway Design Automation became an IEEE standard (1364) in 1995 VHDL Developed in 1981 by the Department of Defense Became an IEEE standard (1076) in 1987 HDL to Gates Ve
