How to use Loop and Exit in VHDL
In the previous tutorial we learned how to delay time using the wait for statement. We also learned about the process loop. We now know that if we let it, the process “thread” will loop within the process forever. But what if we want to do something just once at the beginning of the process?…
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 use a While loop in VHDL
In the previous tutorial, we learned how to use a For-Loop to iterate over an integer range. But what if we want a more detailed control of the loop than just a fixed integer range? We can use a While-Loop for this. The While-Loop will continue to iterate over the enclosed code as long as…
How to use a procedure in a process in VHDL
It is possible to drive external signals from a procedure. As long as the signal is within the scope of the procedure, it can be accessed for reading or writing, even if it isn’t listed in the parameter list. Procedures that are declared in the declarative region of the architecture, cannot drive any external signals….
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…
Basic VHDL quiz – Part 1
Put your skills to the test with this quiz with questions from the first part of the Basic VHDL Tutorial series.
Though those two codes are logically equivalent, the right one infers a transparent latch, it shouldn’t be used for synthesis.
I don’t think it does, but I’m not 100% sure what the synthesis tools do all the time.
This will infer a latch:
process(InSig) is begin if InSig = '0' then OutSig <= '1'; end if; end process;This shouldn’t create any latches:
process(InSig) is begin OutSig <= '0'; if InSig = '0' then OutSig <= '1'; end if; end process;A link to the question:
