2 Copyright © 1997 Altera Corporation www.FPGA.com.cn & www.PLD.com.cn 提供 What is VHDL Very high speed integrated Hardware Description Language (VHDL) –is an industry standard hardware description language –description the hardware in language instead of graphic easy to modify easy to maintain –very good for complex combinational logic –BCD to 7 Segment converter –address decoding state machine more than you want……..

3 Copyright © 1997 Altera Corporation www.FPGA.com.cn & www.PLD.com.cn 提供 How to use the VHDL use any text editor to create the file –Altera Software Max+Plus II provides text editor click at this icon

4 Copyright © 1997 Altera Corporation www.FPGA.com.cn & www.PLD.com.cn 提供 VHDL Template I forgot ……. If-then-else case-end case loop-end loop ??…??? Modify the code as user want

5 Copyright © 1997 Altera Corporation www.FPGA.com.cn & www.PLD.com.cn 提供 General VHDL Format ENTITY test IS PORT ( input_pin_name : IN bit; output_pin_name : OUT bit); END test; ARCHITECTURE test_body OF test IS BEGIN output_pin_name <= input_pin_name; END test_body; Key WordVHDL Format Logic This two must be the same I/O port define section Logic Behaviour define section Must be the same as the save TEST.VHD file

6 Copyright © 1997 Altera Corporation www.FPGA.com.cn & www.PLD.com.cn 提供 Your First VHDL design -- 2 input AND gate Entity simand is Port ( a, b : in bit; c : out bit); end simand; architecture simand_body of simand is begin c <= a and b; end simand_body;

7 Copyright © 1997 Altera Corporation www.FPGA.com.cn & www.PLD.com.cn 提供 Learning VHDL must learn What is Combinatorial Logic What is Sequential Logic What is Concurrent Statement What is Process Statement

8 Copyright © 1997 Altera Corporation www.FPGA.com.cn & www.PLD.com.cn 提供 Concurrent Statement All the Concurrent Statement is executed in parallel Concurrent Statement does not care the position within the coding Concurrent Statement is : OUTPUT depends on INPUT only Entity test1 Is Port ( a, b : in bit; c, d : out bit); end test1; architecture test1_body of test1 is begin c <= a and b; d <= a or b; end test1_body; Entity test1 Is Port ( a, b : in bit; c, d : out bit); end test1; architecture test1_body of test1 is begin d <= a or b; c <= a and b; end test1_body; This two excute in parallel Does not care the position within the coding Output depends on Input only without any conditional constraint

9 Copyright © 1997 Altera Corporation www.FPGA.com.cn & www.PLD.com.cn 提供 THE SAME C = A and B D = A OR B c <= a and b; d <= a or b; c <= a and b;

10 Copyright © 1997 Altera Corporation www.FPGA.com.cn & www.PLD.com.cn 提供 Process Statement All the Process Statement is executed in parallel Within the Process Statement, the coding is execute in sequential Process Statement is : OUTPUT depends on INPUT with Sensitivity List to control the event happen

11 Copyright © 1997 Altera Corporation www.FPGA.com.cn & www.PLD.com.cn 提供 Entity test1 is Port ( clk, d1, d2 : in bit; q1, q2 : out bit); end test1; architecture test1_body of test1 is begin Process (clk, d1) begin if (clk’event and clk = ‘1’) then q1 <= d1; end if; end process; Process (clk, d2) begin if (clk’event and clk= ‘1’) then q2 <= d2; end if; end process; end test1_body; Entity test1 is Port ( clk, d1, d2 : in bit; q1, q2 : out bit); end test1; architecture test1_body of test1 is begin Process (clk, d2) begin if (clk’event and clk = ‘1’) then q2 <= d2; end if; end process; Process (clk, d1) begin if (clk’event and clk= ‘1’) then q1 <= d1; end if; end process; end test1_body; This two processes execute in parallel The coding is execute in sequential within the process The output depends on input with conditional constraint

12 Copyright © 1997 Altera Corporation www.FPGA.com.cn & www.PLD.com.cn 提供 The two process statement execute in parallel

13 Copyright © 1997 Altera Corporation www.FPGA.com.cn & www.PLD.com.cn 提供 How to... ? Now I know what is Combinational Logic but Q : How to implement of Combinational Logic in VHDL? Combinational Logic can be implemented by –Concurrent Signal Assigment Statements –Process Statement that describe purely combinational behaviour i.e. behaviour that does not depends on any CLOCK EDGE

14 Copyright © 1997 Altera Corporation www.FPGA.com.cn & www.PLD.com.cn 提供 Concurrent Statements for Combinational Logic

15 Copyright © 1997 Altera Corporation www.FPGA.com.cn & www.PLD.com.cn 提供 Concurrent Statements There are several different kinds of Concurrent Statements –(1) Simple Signal Assigments –(2) Conditional Signal Assigments –(3) Selected Signal Assigments

16 Copyright © 1997 Altera Corporation www.FPGA.com.cn & www.PLD.com.cn 提供 (1) Simple Signal Assigment These kind of statements are executed in Parallel Entity test1 is port ( a, b, e : in bit; c, d : out bit); end test1; architecture test1_body of test1 is begin c <= a and b; d <= e; end test1_body;

17 Copyright © 1997 Altera Corporation www.FPGA.com.cn & www.PLD.com.cn 提供 (2) Conditional Signal Assigments The output get the value when the condition is true –e.g. 2 to 1 multiplexer Entity test1 is port (in1, in2, sel : in bit; d : out bit); end test1; architecture test1_body of test1 is begin d <= in1 when sel = ‘0’ else in2; end test1_body;

18 Copyright © 1997 Altera Corporation www.FPGA.com.cn & www.PLD.com.cn 提供 (3) Select Signal Assignments The output get value when matching with the selected item Entity test1 is port (a, b: in bit; sel : in bit; c : out bit); end test1; architecture test1_body of test1 is begin with sel select c <= a when ‘1’, b when ‘0’; end test1_body;

19 Copyright © 1997 Altera Corporation www.FPGA.com.cn & www.PLD.com.cn 提供 Process Statement for Combinational Logic

20 Copyright © 1997 Altera Corporation www.FPGA.com.cn & www.PLD.com.cn 提供 Process Statement There are some rules for the Process Statement usage –any kind of Process Statement must have SENITIVITY LIST sensitivity list contains the signals that cause the process statement to execute if their values change –the statement within the Process Statement will be execute STEP-BY-STEP Q : What does it all means ? A : Follow me.......

21 Copyright © 1997 Altera Corporation www.FPGA.com.cn & www.PLD.com.cn 提供 Template for Process Statement SENSITIVITY LIST Using the “SENSITIVITY LIST” name : PROCESS (sensitivity_list) begin sequential statement #1 sequential statement #2....... sequential statement # N END PROCESS name; General format for a Process Statemtent Process ( ) begin.. end process Sensitivity List Sequential Statement The sequential statement execute one by one and follow the order, ie. finish the #1 then #2 then #3 name is optional

22 Copyright © 1997 Altera Corporation www.FPGA.com.cn & www.PLD.com.cn 提供 Example will be more clear Entity test1 is port (a, b, sel1, sel2 : in bit; result : out bit); end test1; architecture test1_body of test1 is begin process (sel1, sel2,a, b) begin if (sel1 = ‘1’) then result <= a; elsif (sel2 = ‘1’) then result <= b; else result <= ‘0’; end if; end process; end test1_body; Result change if sel1, sel2, a or b change the value Wait : I can do the same join with Concurrent Statement

23 Copyright © 1997 Altera Corporation www.FPGA.com.cn & www.PLD.com.cn 提供 Entity test1 is port (a, b, sel1, sel2 : in bit; result : out bit); end test1; architecture test1_body of test1 is begin result <= a when sel1 = ‘1’ else b when sel2 = ‘1’ else ‘0’; end test1_body; Entity test1 is port (a, b, sel1, sel2 : in bit; result : out bit); end test1; architecture test1_body of test1 is begin process (sel1, sel2,a, b) begin if (sel1 = ‘1’) then result <= a; elsif (sel2 = ‘1’) then result <= b; else result <= ‘0’; end if; end process; end test1_body; Same function but different way to do the coding Concurrent StatementProcess Statement

24 Copyright © 1997 Altera Corporation www.FPGA.com.cn & www.PLD.com.cn 提供 Q : What is the different between Concurrent and Process Statement A : For this simple example, both Concurrent and Process can do the same job. But some function must use Process Statement to do

25 Copyright © 1997 Altera Corporation www.FPGA.com.cn & www.PLD.com.cn 提供 How to... ? Now I know what is Sequential Logic but Q : How to implement of Sequential Logic in VHDL? Sequential Logic can be implemented by –Process Statement describe the logic with some CLOCK signal

26 Copyright © 1997 Altera Corporation www.FPGA.com.cn & www.PLD.com.cn 提供 Process Statement for Sequential Logic

27 Copyright © 1997 Altera Corporation www.FPGA.com.cn & www.PLD.com.cn 提供 How to do the Latch Entity test1 is port (clk, d, reset : in bit; q : out bit); end test1; architecture test1_body of test1 is begin process (clk, d, reset) begin if (reset = ‘1’) then q <= ‘0’; elsif (clk = ‘1’) then q <= d; end if; end process; end test1_body; Reset take over the control first Clk take the control second Within the process excute in step-by-step

28 Copyright © 1997 Altera Corporation www.FPGA.com.cn & www.PLD.com.cn 提供 If I modify the code to... Entity test1 is port (clk, d, reset : in bit; q : out bit); end test1; architecture test1_body of test1 is begin process (clk) begin if (reset = ‘1’) then q <= ‘0’; elsif (clk = ‘1’) then q <= d; end if; end process; end test1_body; Note : the result is totally different What is it ?

29 Copyright © 1997 Altera Corporation www.FPGA.com.cn & www.PLD.com.cn 提供 I get a Flip-Flop not a LATCH

30 Copyright © 1997 Altera Corporation www.FPGA.com.cn & www.PLD.com.cn 提供 Why I have a Flip-Flop not a Latch Latch with a Sensitivity list process (clk, d, reset) Flip-Flop with a Sensitivity list process(clk) Q : What is the Sensitivity list use for ? A : The OUTPUT change when the Sensitivity list change

31 Copyright © 1997 Altera Corporation www.FPGA.com.cn & www.PLD.com.cn 提供 More Detail process (clk, d, reset) –this say that the OUTPUT change when either clk, d or reset change, if clk, d or reset not change, then maintain the output –what kind of device will provide this function ? LATCH

32 Copyright © 1997 Altera Corporation www.FPGA.com.cn & www.PLD.com.cn 提供 process (clk) –this say that OUTPUT change when CLK change, if clk does not change, maintain the output –what kind of device will provide this function ? Flip-Flop

33 Copyright © 1997 Altera Corporation www.FPGA.com.cn & www.PLD.com.cn 提供 The other way of coding LIBRARY IEEE; USE IEEE.std_logic_1164.all; ENTITY tdff IS PORT(clk, d: in std_logic; q : out std_logic); END tdff; ARCHITECTURE behaviour OF tdff IS BEGIN PROCESS BEGIN wait until clk = '1'; q <= d; END PROCESS; END behaviour;

34 Copyright © 1997 Altera Corporation www.FPGA.com.cn & www.PLD.com.cn 提供 Compare IF-THEN-ELSE vs WATI UNTIL LIBRARY IEEE; USE IEEE.std_logic_1164.all; ENTITY tdff IS PORT(clk, d: in std_logic; q : out std_logic); END tdff; architecture behaviour OF tdff IS BEGIN PROCESS BEGIN wait until clk = '1'; q <= d; END PROCESS; END behaviour; Entity test1 is port (clk, d : in bit; q : out bit); end test1; architecture test1_body of test1 is begin process (clk) begin if (clk = ‘1’) then q <= d; end if; end process; end test1_body; Entity test1 is port (clk, d : in bit; q : out bit); end test1; architecture test1_body of test1 is begin process (clk,d) begin if (clk = ‘1’ and clk’event) then q <= d; end if; end process; end test1_body;

35 Copyright © 1997 Altera Corporation www.FPGA.com.cn & www.PLD.com.cn 提供 Review Concurrent Statement for –combinational logic (without Flip-flop circuit) eg. decoder, multiplixer, multiplier, adder Process Statement for –combinational logic (without Flip-Flop circuit) –Sequential logic (with Flip-Flop circuit) e.g. State machine, counters, controller
