How to use Signed and Unsigned in VHDL
The signed and unsigned types in VHDL are bit vectors, just like the std_logic_vector type. The difference is that while the std_logic_vector is great for implementing data buses, it’s useless for performing arithmetic operations. If you try to add any number to a std_logic_vector type, ModelSim will produce the compilation error: No feasible entries for…
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…
How to create a process with a sensitivity list in VHDL
You should always use a sensitivity list to trigger processes in production modules. Sensitivity lists are parameters to a process which lists all the signals that the process is sensitive to. If any of the signals change, the process will wake up, and the code within it is executed. We’ve already learned to use the…
Logic gates interactive demo
The basic logic gates NOT, AND, NAND, OR, NOR, XOR, and XNOR are fundamental building blocks in digital circuits corresponding to Boolean operators.
Play with the switches to see how the outputs change! 😀
How to use Port Map instantiation in VHDL
A module is a self-contained unit of VHDL code. Modules communicate with the outside world through the entity. Port map is the part of the module instantiation where you declare which local signals the module’s inputs and outputs shall be connected to. In previous tutorials in this series we have been writing all our code…
How to check if a vector is all zeros or ones
I know that I have googled this at least a hundred times throughout my career as an FPGA engineer; how to check if all bits in a std_logic_vector signal are ‘0’ or ‘1’. Of course, you know a few ways to do it already, but you want to find the most elegant code that will…
Dear Jonas
Thanks for the content, thumbs up. please keep up the good work!
Best Regards
Thanks! That’s good to hear.
You are doing a very nice job. Top quality!
Thanks! I really appreciate your comment.
Hello Jonas
You really did save me by these great videos and materials.
These tutorials are the best thing on the internet.
Thank you for creating them.
Thanks! That’s encouraging to hear. I will do my best to keep up the quality of my blog posts.
Thank you so much man you are awesome! i learnt vhdl in university but i forgot after all years. i started again working. You help me too much! i will continue to course after this beginner course. i am planning the begin beginner fast track ! please dont stop the teaching us . thank you so much! greetings from turkey 🙂
Hello, Utku. Thank you for the nice comment! I’m glad you found my blog to be helpful. I will keep the free and premium content coming your way.
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.
