Best Answer

A package is a collection of types, constants, subprograms etc.

These are usually intended to implement some particular service or to isolate a group of related items.

In particular, the details of constant values and subprogram bodies can be hidden from users of a package, with only their interfaces made visible.

A package may be split into two parts:

  1. a package declaration, which defines its interface, and
  2. a package body, which defines the deferred details.

The body part may be omitted if there are no deferred details.

The syntax of a package declaration is as follows:

package_declaration ::=

package identifier is

package_declarative_part

end [ package_simple_name ] ;

Why 1164 used in encoder vhdl programming?

VHDL program follows IEEE library. This means that all the data types, commands, keywords etc. used in a VHDL program are stored in a library called IEEE library. This library will be available in the EDA tool which is executing the VHDL program. 1164 is a package where all the logic gates are defined. This is a sub part of IEEE library. As encoder program requires logic gates, we need to use 1164 package in the code.

What is a testbench in vhdl?

A Test Bench in VHDL is code written in VHDL that provides stimulus for individual modules (also written in VHDL). Individual modules are instantiated by a single line of code showing the port connections to the module. The correctness of the written program can be checked by writing the test bench. It is a collection of VHDL procedures and functions which allow the user to create their own scripting instructions for test stimulus. Designers manually design their test bench inputs to checks the output. The stimulus script or test case contains the instructions in a regular ASCII text file. The test bench VHDL package contains procedures to create instructions, read, parse and execute the test script.

4 Difference between c program and vhdl program?

There are 4 main differences between C programming and VHDL programming. C is a mid-level language, while VHDL is a hardware description language. C can handle one type of instruction, while VHDL can handle two. C does not require as much resource usage as VHDL. C can be written only with logical thinking, but a VHDL programmer must understand hardware circuits.
