HDL Reference GuideContents
IntroductionThis HDL Reference Guide is a combined quick reference guide to the VHDL language, the Verilog Language and the SystemVerilog Language its syntax, semantics, synthesis and application to hardware design. This Reference Guide shows examples of all three languages and compares the different ways of constructing the functionality. It is not intended as a replacement for the IEEE Standard HDL Language Reference Manuals. Unlike these documents, this Reference guide does not offer a complete, formal description of HDL. Rather, it offers answers to the questions most often asked during the practical application of HDL, in a convenient reference format. Nor is The HDL Reference Guide intended to be an introductory tutorial. Information is presented here in a terse reference format, not in the progressive and sympathetic manner necessary to learn a subject as complex as VHDL. However, acknowledging that those already familiar with computer languages may wish to use this guide as a VHDL text book, a brief informal introduction to the subject is given at the start. The main feature of The HDL Reference Guide is that it compiles information regarding VHDL, Verilog and SystemVerilo into an easy to use page with examples and comparisons to aide the HDL designer working in shifting environments and shifting languages.
