Introduction to verilog a digital element such as a flip flop can be represented with combinational gates like nand and nor the functionality of a flip flop is achieved by the connection of a certain set of gates in a particular manner how the gates have to be connected is usually figured out by solving k map from the truth table. Introduction to verilog oct 1 03 1 peter m nyasulu and j knight verilog hdl is one of the two most common hardware description languages hdl used by integrated circuit ic designers the other one is vhdl hdls allows the design to be simulated earlier in the design cycle in order to correct errors or experiment with different architectures designs described in hdl are technology independent easy to design and debug and are. The history of verilog o verilog verifying logic o developed by gateway design automation in 1985 by phil moorby verilog was invented as simulation language o use of verilog for synthesis was a complete afterthought bought by cadence design systems in 1989 o verilog opened to public in 1990. This class is a general introduction to the verilog language and its use in programmable logic design covering the basic constructs used in both the simulation and synthesis environments by the end of this course you will have a basic understanding of the verilog module data types operators and assignment statements needed to begin creating your own designs using both behavioral and structural approaches in the hands on laboratory sessions you will get to practice the knowledge you
