This is Part B of 17th session of Basic Electronics workshop arranged for teachers. It was delivered by Prof. Dinesh Sharma from IIT Bombay. 

In this session he talked about an introduction to VHDL, VHDL is a hardware description language, which uses the syntax of ADA. Like any hardware description language, it is used for many purposes, For describing hardware, As a modeling language, For simulation of hardware, For early performance estimation of system architecture, For Synthesis of hardware, For fault simulation, test and verification of designs. Design Elements in VHDL: ENTITY, ENTITY Example, Design Element in VHDL, Architecture syntax, Component declaration, Definition of NAND, XOR Gate example, XOR Architecture body.

The syntax used in the video title is as follow:
BE – Basic Electronics
M – Main workshop
L17B – Lecture 17B

This Basic Electronics workshop for teachers was conducted from June 28 to July 8, 2011 under eOutreach project, sponsored by NMEICT, MHRDA Government of India, New Delhi

This workshop had been arranged for teachers at various Remote Centers. A large number of participating teachers were assembled at nearest Remote Centers of their colleges where IIT Bombay faculty delivered live lecture from IIT Bombay in distance mode through A-VIEW software.
