11.1 Document Organization

The Microchip HDL Coding Style Guide is divided into the following chapters:

Design Flow describes the basic design flow for creating Microchip designs with HDL synthesis and simulation tools.

Technology Independent Coding Styles describes basic high level HDL coding styles and techniques.

Performance Driven Coding illustrates efficient design practices and describes synthesis implementations and techniques that can be used to reduce logic levels on a critical path.

Technology Specific Coding Techniques describes how to implement technology specific features and technology specific cores for optimal area and performance utilization.
