- IEEE 1076
The
IEEE Standard 1076 defines theVHSIC Hardware Description Language orVHDL . It was originally developed by CLSI under contract F33615-83-C-1003 from the United States Airforce in 1983. The language has undergone numerous revisions and has a variety of sub-standards associated with it that augment or extend it in important ways.1076 was and continues to be a milestone in the design of electronic systems.
Revisions:
* 1076-1987 First standardized revision of ver 7.2 of the language from the United States Air Force.
* 1076-1993 (ISBN 1-55937-376-8) Significant improvements resulting from several years of feedback. Probably the most widely used version with the greatest vendor tool support.
* 1076-2000 Minor revision. Done mainly to meet IEEE requirement that standards are addressed every five years to see if they are still pertinent
* 1076-200x The name given to future work on the standard going on as of2004 See Also:
