VHDL Essentials Simulation & Synthesis

Course Objectives

This course provides all necessary theoretical and practical know-how to design programmable logic devices using VHDL standard language.
The course goes into great depth, and touches upon every aspect of the standard with directly connected to the topics needed in the industry today.
The course combines 50% theory with 50% practical work in every meeting.
The practical labs cover all the theory and also include practical digital design.
The course begins with an overview of the current programmable logic devices and their capabilities, continues with an in-depth study of VHDL language with all of its structures, involves writing test-bench programs and employ a simulation tool.
The course ends with a synthesis overview and emphasizes the difference between testing code and synthesizable code.
