Abstract
In this paper, we are presenting the basic methodology to be used
in the design of a digital system, based on the use of hardware
description languages. The most important stages of the design flow and
the computer-aided design tools involved are presented, from the initial
specification to the final implementation. The design flow described in
the paper is based on a top-down approach, as this is the methodology
currently used for most of the digital systems to face the current
system complexity. Although all the concepts and methods are feasible
for any kind of digital electronic system, application-specific
integrated circuits are, in particular, considered as an application
example in the paper. Most of the examples shown are written in VHSIC
HDL, as it is an IEEE Standard and is one of the most commonly
used
