Features of Verilog HDL

Verilog HDL has evolved as a standard hardware description language. Verilog HDL offers many useful features for hardware design.
• Verilog HDL is a general-purpose hardware description language that is easy to learn and easy to use. it is similar in syntax to the C programming language. Designers with C programming experience will find it easy to learn Verilog HDL.
• Verilog HDL allows different levels of abstraction to be mixed in the same model. Thus. a designer can define a hardware model in terms of switches, gates, RTL. or behavioral code. Also, a designer needs to learn only one language for stimulus and hierarchical design.
• Most popular logic synthesis tools support Verilog HDL. This makes it the language of choice for designers.
• All fabrication vendors provide Verilog HDL libraries for Post logic synthesis simulation. Thus, designing a chip in Verilog KDL allows the widest choice of vendors.
• The Programming Language Interface (PU) Is a powerful feature that allows the user to write custom C code to interact with the internal data structures of Verilog. Designers can customize a Verilog HDL simulator to their needs with the PLI.
