Abstract :
For part 1, see ibid. This presentation provides an introduction to the VHDL 1076.1 language, with particular emphasis on the concepts supporting the description of continuous and mixed continuous/discrete systems. It introduces the language constructs for the description of non-hierarchical and hierarchical systems, including continuous and mixed continuous/discrete concepts applicable to system models with nonconservative and conservative semantics. The language concepts an illustrated with selected examples, and the underlying mathematical theory is summarized where applicable
