Introduction to Behavioral
Modeling in VHDL
Abstraction levels of VHDL models
Structural level
Behavioral/structural mixed (i.e., data flow)
Behavioral
Behavioral Modeling
Functional performance is the goal of behavioral modeling
Timing optionally included in the model
Software engineering practices should be used to develop behavioral models
Structured design
Iterative refinement
Abstract data typing
Loose coupling, strong cohesion
