NEW | VHDL Update 2026

Workshop

Based on our experience from many years of VHDL training and consultancy work, engineers across Germany have a diverse skillset and understanding of VHDL. This highly interactive class wants to equalize the expertise, fill the knowledge gaps and discuss about old or maybe unknown VHDL features, which almost nobody uses due to missing tool support in the past.

This 1-day event mixes theory like VHDL types, with practical uses cases for big designs. We will discover VHDL as a powerful and modern hardware description language from bit-level synthesis up to system level testbenches. Of course, we will dive into VHDL-2019 features supported by state-of-the-art synthesis tools to increase engineers’ productivity.
