Hardware description refers to the practice of creating formal representations of a hardware system to capture its structure and behavior. It enables designers to model digital circuits at multiple levels of abstraction, from high-level architectural descriptions to gate‑level implementations. The primary goal is to enable simulation and verification before manufacture or deployment, reducing risk and cost.
The most widely used tools are hardware description languages (HDLs) such as VHDL and Verilog, with SystemVerilog
Design usually proceeds with a test bench—an accompanying description that stimulates the design under test and
Common design challenges include managing concurrency, clock domains, and timing closure. Modern HDLs provide features such
