FPGA Pin Assignment in UCF File: How to Connect Circuit Ports to FPGA Pins

In this article, I want to talk about how to assign the ports of your circuit to the FPGA pins.

This is one of the essential steps you need to take towards the end of the implementation process. I’ll explain this in detail, and by the end, I’ll also provide an example to make the concept clearer for you.

Internal RAM Types in Xilinx FPGAs

In this video, I want to talk about two different types of temporary memory, or RAM, that we use in FPGAs.

After introducing these memory types, I'll discuss when and under what circumstances you should use each type.

Building Digital Circuits with VHDL – Part 4

This is part four of our VHDL tutorial series. Today, we're diving into how to design combinational circuits within the sequential region using the if statement in VHDL.

From previous lessons, you’ll likely remember that every VHDL code is generally composed of two main sections: Entity and Architecture.

Circuit Simulation Using ISim in Xilinx ISE Design Suite

In this article, I’m going to explain how to simulate digital circuits using the ISim software, which is part of the ISE Design Suite.

ISim is the simulator provided by Xilinx, and if you have the ISE software installed on your computer, this simulator is also installed alongside it. You can use it to simulate your circuits.

Building Digital Circuits with VHDL – Part 3

This is the third video in our series of VHDL video tutorials, where I’ll be discussing how to design combinational circuits using the conditional signal assignment construct.

If you haven’t watched the first two videos in this series yet, I recommend pausing this video here and checking out those tutorials first.
