    This document provides an introduction to VHDL, a hardware description language used to describe logic circuits. It discusses how logic functions can be described using Boolean expressions, truth tables, and other methods. An example logic circuit for a car seatbelt warning indicator is presented. VHDL syntax and fundamentals are covered, including defining circuit inputs/outputs, data types, and representing the circuit operation through statements. Decision structures, implementing common components like multiplexers and decoders, and magnitude comparators are also overviewed.

    Introduction to VHDL

    Describing Logic Circuits


    • We have learned how to describe and represent
    logic functions using:
    Logical statements in our own language
     Truth tables
     Traditional graphic logic symbols
     Boolean algebra expressions
     Timing diagrams

    2
    Example
    • The following English expression describes the way a logic circuit
    needs to operate in order to drive a seatbelt warning indicator in a car.
    • If the driver is present AND the driver is NOT buckled up AND
    the ignition switch is on, THEN turn on the warning light.

    Solution
    • Let's assign the symbols WL, DP, BU, and IG to warning light, driver
    present, buckled up, and ignition on, respectively. The circuit may be
    represented by
    (a)Boolean expression
    WL = DP* BU * IG

    DESCRIPTION LANGUAGES AND
    PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES
    • It is important to distinguish between:
     hardware description languages(HDL) intended to describe
    the hardware configuration of a circuit.
     programming languages that represent a sequence of
    instructions intended to be carried out by a computer to
    accomplish some task.
     The languages used to describe digital hardware (HDL) are
    very similar to languages that describe computer programs
    (e.g., BASIC, C, JAVA), even though the resulting
    implementations operate quite differently.

    5
    VHDL FORMAT AND SYNTAX
     Any language has its unique properties, similarities to other
    languages, and its proper syntax. The basic format of any
    hardware circuit description involves two vital elements:
    1. The definition of what goes into it and what comes out
    of it (i.e., I/O specs)
    2. The definition of how the outputs respond to the inputs
    (i.e. its operation).
     In a text-based language, the circuit being described must
    be given a name.
     The input and outputs (sometimes called ports) must be
    assigned names and defined according to the nature of the
    port.

    6
    VHDL --
    • The mode of a port defines whether it is input, output,
    or both.
    • The type determines the range of possible values.
    • The type refers to the number of bits.
    • If the type of input is a single bit, then it can have only two
    possible values: 0 and 1.
    • If the type of input is 4-bit binary number, it can have any
    one of 16 different values (00002-11112).
    • The definition of the circuit's operation in a text-based
    language is contained in a set of statements that follow the
    circuit input/output (I/O) definition.

    DECISION CONTROL STRUCTURES
    • IF/ELSE:
    • Example
    Reconsider the example, where four logic-signal lines A, B, C, D are being
    used to represent a 4-bit binary number with A as the MSB and D as the LSB.
    The binary inputs are fed to a logic circuit that produces a HIGH output only
    when the binary number is greater than 01102 =610. Write the VHDL version

    • comparator :
    • If A>B, then indicate that A>B.
    • If A<B, then indicate that A<B.

    • control (cascade) inputs to indicate


    If A=B, then use the

    the relationship.
