The majority of these examples are taken from the excellent book: HDL
Chip Design, by Douglas J.Sm
In the section on VITAL standard. we present few examples elaborated at VITAL level. An
associated article provides more insight into VITAL standard characteristics.
The section on standard modeling methods provide a link to another article containing a presentation of different modeling methods and the related links.
Finally, some links are given to the servers offering the models from public domain.
Basic models of design structure
Synthetizable models of combinational logic circuits
Synthetizable models of synchronous logic circuits
Synthetizable models of finite state machines - FSM
VITAL is an essential logic level (ASIC cells) modeling standard allowing to express the detailed
behavior of ASIC cells.
Few VITAL model examples from Free Model Foundry
Standard modeling methods
The goal of this paper is to clarify the state-of-the-art in the dynamic area of modeling
guidelines for VHDL. We distinguish between standards, de facto standards, and modeling rules
stemming from individual experiences. Further, we classify guidelines according to application
domains with emphasis on simulation. We relate guidelines to the IEEE standard VHDL. Then,
we present shortly the main modeling standards. The paper is summarized with an easy-to-use
classification of the main modeling guidelines.
Look for commercial models considered as IPs (Intellectual Propriety models)
