The use of standard languages like VHDL and C for the description of hardware and software IP has became a common practice. Despite this, these languages, specially the hardware description languages lack constructs that allow the IP designer to develop highly re-usable IP blocks. In this paper is described an abstract communication mechanism that uses extensions to the VHDL language, communica...

Now, we come to offer you the right catalogues of book to open. hardware description languages concepts and principles is one of the literary work in this world in suitable to be reading material. That's not only this book gives reference, but also it will show you the amazing benefits of reading a book. Developing your countless minds is needed; moreover you are kind of people with great curio...

In order to bring the theory of embedded computer architectures into practice, a practical assignment has been developed where students design digital hardware using the functional hardware description language CλaSH. The assignment focuses on specifying the structure of FIR filters and analyzing the resulting hardware. By working through the assignment, students gain insight in the use of high...

Many recent standards in telecommunications field are based on CDMA spread spectrum transmissions. In this paper, we describe a methodology for top-down design, modeling, and simulation of CDMA transmitter system using hardware description language VHDL-AMS. Details of VHDL-AMS implementation for each elementary block are shown. This paper together with the developed library of CDMA transmitter...

HML (Hardware ML) is an innovative hardware description language based on the functional programming language SML (Standard ML). HML is a high-order language that supports polymorphic functions. HML's advanced type system provides many constructs that are important to hardware descriptions but are lacking in the more mature, widely used hardware description languages such as VHDL and Verilog. I...

In the literature, it is generally overlooked that designers use functional models more frequently than behavioral or gate-level models. In functional modeling, the functionality of one or more components, like arithmetic/logic units, memories, and counters, are described as separate concurrent blocks. We present an algorithm, called Functional Synthesis Algorithm (FSA), for synthesis from thes...
