I’m from Norway, but I live in Bangkok, Thailand. Before I started VHDLwhiz, I worked as an FPGA engineer in the defense industry. I earned my master’s degree in informatics at the University of Oslo.

How to create a timer in VHDL
In earlier tutorials we have used the wait for statement to delay time in simulation. But what about production modules? The wait for statement cannot be used for that. That only works in simulation because we can’t just tell the electrons in a circuit to pause for a given time. So how can we keep…

NOR logic gates interactive demo
Did you know that you can construct any other digital logic gate using only NOR gates? You can also do it with NAND logic. That’s why we say that these two are universal gates. This article shows one way to implement every logic gate using NOR logic, and the schematics are interactive, like a logic…
How to use a For loop in VHDL
In the previous tutorial we learned to create an infinite loop by using the loop statement. We also learned how the break out of a loop by using the exit statement. But what if we want the loop to iterate a certain number of times? The For-Loop is the easiest way to accomplish this. The…
How to delay time in VHDL: Wait For
In the previous tutorial we learned that a process can be thought of as a program thread. We also learned that a wait; statement causes the program to pause indefinitely. But is there a way to make a program wait for any other time value than forever? If we remove the wait; altogether and try…

Thank you for providing such great content on a subject that imo can be tricky to really understand. But you make it easy for everyone!
That’s great to hear! I will keep on creating tutorials and articles for you. ?
Dear Jonas,
I’m an electronic engineer from Morocco, currently studying for a masters degree in microelectronics and sensors in France.
You helped me a lot to remember some of the vhdl basics and get more further into it.
I worked on an academic project using basys3 and vivado for a vga controller.
Thank you very much for this great content, keep up the good work.
I’m glad you like the quiz. It’s a good way to refresh your knowledge. 🙂
Excellent learning tool
Thanks! By the way, I also use quizzes in the VHDLwhiz membership.
Great tutorials! Short and sweet!
I’ll be sure to go onto the FPGA and VHDL Fast-Track after completing the basic tutorials..
Thanks, Dale! Also, check out the VHDLwhiz Membership, which gives you multiple courses, resource items, and coding challenges and supports your success in FPGA design.
Nice quiz, only problem is sharing your score on facebook is not working.
Thanks for the feedback. I’ve created a task on this. I’ll see if I can fix it when I have the time.
