Introduction to Verilog Author:Bob Zeidman Hardware Description Languages (HDLs) use statements, like programming language statements, in order to define, simulate, synthesize, and layout hardware. One of the main HDLs is Verilog, a widely used and standardized language. Verilog can be used to design anything from the most complex ASIC to the least complex PAL. As ASICs and FPGAs be... more »come more complex, HDLs become a necessity for their design. This course teaches how to use Verilog to design and simulate hardware. It begins by explaining the benefits of HDLs over other design entry methods, including its ability to model different levels of abstraction, its reusability, and documentability. Next, the syntax of the Verilog language is explained in detail. By the end of the course, you will be able to design and simulate real hardware using Verilog. The course includes the study guide, final exam, the textbook Verilog Designer’s Library (Prentice Hall, 1998) and one CD-ROM containing simulation software from Simucad, synthesis software from Synopsys and all of the code examples from the book. Upon successful completion the student receives 8 CEUs and a Certificate of Educational Achievement from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.« less
