Verilog, standardized as IEEE 1364, is a hardware description language (HDL) used to model electronic systems. It is most commonly used in the design and verification ...
Register-transfer-level abstraction is used in hardware description languages (HDLs) like Verilog and VHDL to create high-level representations of a circuit, from which lower-level representations and ultimately actual wiring can be derived. Design at the RTL level is typical practice in modern digital design.
System Verilog is the first major HDL to offer object orientation and garbage collection. Using the proper subset of hardware description language, a program called a synthesizer, or logic synthesis tool , can infer hardware logic operations from the language statements and produce an equivalent netlist of generic hardware primitives [ jargon ...
SystemVerilog for register-transfer level (RTL) design is an extension of Verilog-2005; all features of that language are available in SystemVerilog. Therefore, Verilog is a subset of SystemVerilog. SystemVerilog for verification uses extensive object-oriented programming techniques and is more closely related to Java than Verilog. These ...
The original Verilog simulator, Gateway Design's Verilog-XL was the first (and only, for a time) Verilog simulator to be qualified for ASIC (validation) sign-off. After its acquisition by Cadence Design Systems, Verilog-XL changed very little over the years, retaining an interpreted language engine, and freezing language-support at Verilog-1995.
Icarus Verilog is an implementation of the Verilog hardware description language compiler that generates netlists in the desired format and a simulator. It supports the 1995, 2001 and 2005 versions of the standard, portions of SystemVerilog , and some extensions.
Verilog-A is an industry standard modeling language for analog circuits. It is the continuous-time subset of Verilog-AMS . A few commercial applications may export MEMS designs in Verilog-A format.
Value change dump (VCD) (also known less commonly as "variable change dump") is an ASCII-based format for dumpfiles generated by EDA logic simulation tools. The standard, four-value VCD format was defined along with the Verilog hardware description language by the IEEE Standard 1364-1995 in 1996.
