Introduction to VHDL (IHDL110)
8 Hours Instructor-Led Course

Course Description

This one-day course is a general introduction to the VHDL language and its use in programmable logic design. The emphasis is on the synthesis constructs of VHDL; however, you will also learn about the simulation constructs. You will gain a basic understanding of VHDL to enable you to begin creating your design file. In the hands-on laboratory sessions, you will put this knowledge to the test by writing simple but practical designs. You will also learn the basic instructions needed for operating both the synthesis and simulation tools of the Quartus® II software v. 7.2.

At Course Completion

  • Implement basic VHDL constructs
  • Implement modeling structures of VHDL
  • Behavioral
  • Structural
  • Use VHDL building blocks (Design Units)
  • Entity
  • Architecture
  • Configurations
  • Package declarations
  • Package bodies
  • Create projects in Quartus II software
  • Perform simulation in the Quartus II simulator

Skills Required

  • Background in digital logic design
  • Knowledge of simulation is a plus
  • Prior knowledge of a programming language (e.g., "C" language) is a plus
  • No prior knowledge of VHDL or Quartus II software is needed
