Learn modeling of digital systems through our effective VHDL training program
VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) is a versatile and powerful hardware description language which is used for modeling electronic systems at different levels of design abstraction. It can be used to design the lowest level (gate level) to the highest level of a digital system. This language follows a set of rules and allows the designer to use varied design methods to provide different perspectives to the digital system.
Course Code: VHDLDSGN
Course Duration: 1 Month
Course objectives:
