Notes:
A complete VHDL description consists of an entity in which the interface signals are declared and an architecture in which the functionality of the component is described.
VHDL provides constructs and mechanisms for describing the structure of components which may me constructed from simpler sub-systems. VHDL also provides some high-level description language constructs (e.g. variables, loops, conditionals) to model complex behavior easily. Finally, the underlying timing model in VHDL supports both the concurrency and delay observed in digital electronic systems.
