Hardware Description Languages

Describe digital circuits in code with Verilog and VHDL, then synthesise them onto FPGAs or ASICs.

Advanced

An HDL describes hardware, not a sequence of instructions: every statement becomes logic that operates in parallel. The code is simulated to verify behaviour, then synthesised into gates and flip-flops on an FPGA or chip.
