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 use Wait On and Wait Until in VHDL
In the previous tutorial we learned the main differences between signals and variables. We learned that signals have a broader scope than variables, which are only accessible within one process. So how can we use signals for communication between several processes? We have already learned to use wait; to wait infinitely, and wait for to…
How to create a PWM controller in VHDL
Pulse-width modulation (PWM) is an efficient way to control analog electronics from purely digital FPGA pins. Instead of attempting to regulate the analog voltage, PWM rapidly switches on and off the supply current at full power to the analog device. This method gives us precise control over the moving average of energy provided to the…
How to create a breathing LED effect using a sine wave stored in block RAM
I’ve noticed that many of the gadgets that I’ve bought the last couple of years have shifted away from LED blinking to led breathing. Most electronic gizmos contain a status LED whose behavior gives away indications of what’s going on inside of the device. My electric toothbrush flashes an LED when it’s time to recharge…
An Introduction to FPGAs & Programmable Logic
This video is an introductory presentation about FPGA and programmable logic technology. I delivered this 45 minutes talk at an event hosted by 7 Peaks Software in Bangkok, Thailand, on November 19th, 2019.
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 4
Test your progress with this VHDL quiz after completing part 4 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:
This shouldn’t create any latches:
