A computer language called Hardware Description Language (HDL) is used to describe the construction or behaviour of digital circuits (ICs). Additionally, HDLs are used to activate the circuit and assess how it responds.
What is the primary advantage of using HDLs for design entry compared to a schematic?
HDLs allow for a higher level of abstraction in design compared to schematic capture. The two main types of HDL descriptions are behavioral description, which specifies the general working of the design without detailing specific components, and structural description, which associates specific components with the design.
What is the use of Hardware Description Language (HDL)?
HDLs allow designers to work at a higher level of abstraction during early design phases by focusing on the general working of the design. In contrast, structural description entry involves specifying specific components and their interconnections in detail, similar to drawing a schematic diagram.
