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 create a signal vector in VHDL: std_logic_vector
The std_logic_vector type can be used for creating signal buses in VHDL. The std_logic is the most commonly used type in VHDL, and the std_logic_vector is the array version of it. While the std_logic is great for modeling the value that can be carried by a single wire, it’s not very practical for implementing collections…
std_logic vs std_ulogic
VHDL includes few built-in types but offers several additional types through extension packages. Two of the most widely used types are std_logic and std_ulogic. The difference between them is that the former is resolved while the latter isn’t. Before we go on to investigate what it means that a type is resolved, let’s first look…
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.
How to use a procedure in VHDL
A procedure is a type of subprogram in VHDL which can help us avoid repeating code. Sometimes the need arises to perform identical operations several places throughout the design. While creating a module might be overkill for minor operations, a procedure is often what you want. Procedures can be declared within any declarative region. The…
How to use the most common VHDL type: std_logic
The most common type used in VHDL is the std_logic. Think of this type as a single bit, the digital information carried by a single physical wire. The std_logic gives us a more fine-grained control over the resources in our design than the integer type, which we have been using in the previous tutorials. Normally,…
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:
