Very High-Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language (VHDL) is a description language used to describe hardware.
It is utilized in electronic design automation to express mixed-signal and digital systems, such as ICs (integrated circuits) and FPGA (field-programmable gate arrays).
VHDL is used for documentation, verification and synthesis of large digital design. behavioral (generally a mixture of the three methods is used).
Every VHDL design description consists of at least one entity / architecture pair, or one entity with multiple architectures.
The key advantage of VHDL, when used for systems design, is that it allows the behavior of the required system to be described (modeled) and verified (simulated) before synthesis tools translate the design into real hardware (gates and wires).
Another benefit is that VHDL allows the description of a concurrent system.
