VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) is a hardware programming language commonly used for FPGA or ASIC designs. FPGAs and the like are often found within larger applications such as cell phones, medical imagers, and personal media devices. As these devices are becoming more ubiquitous so the need for engineers fluent in VHDL design grows. Engineers commonly face an immediate need to learn a language or technique quickly and this book can answer that requirement. Bill Kafig, Xilinx, swiftly brings the reader up to speed on techniques and functions commonly used as well as commands and data management. Extensive simple, complete designs are accompany the content for maximum comprehension. The book concludes with a section on design re-use which is of utmost importance to today's engineer that needs to meet a deadline and lower costs per unit.
*Several small yet complete designs explained
*Begins with the basics including language concepts
*Includes FREE Xilinx Software and ISE Development Tools!

Introduction and Background
1.1 VHDL
VHDL. Four little letters. So much to understand.
There are many approaches to learning the Very-High-Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language (VHDL). These range from the academic – where each piece is looked at, turned upside down and inside out, and fully understood at an atomic level, yet only a few understand how to actually USE the language to implement a design; to OJT where an engineer may be handed either poorly written code (or in rare cases a well written piece of code), or nothing at all and told that they are now responsible for the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) in the system.
Somewhere in between lays a happy medium – a way to learn VHDL and be productive as quickly as possible.
I have a strong background in the Japanese Martial Art of Aikido. Like so many Martial Arts there are "beginning techniques", "intermediate techniques", and "advanced techniques", yet all of them are built on certain fundamental ideas of movement. It would be a disservice to a student to spend hundreds of hours on wrist techniques alone without covering falling techniques (one way to avoid harm), or posture, or any number of other important aspects of the Art.
We start out simply, get a rough idea of what we're in for – sort of a sampling of the various aspects, but none in any great detail.
Now that the student has an idea of what he's in for, he has a better idea of what lies ahead so that the next iteration of falling, arm techniques, wrist techniques, knee work, etc., there is
