Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the AI VHDL Code Explainer used for?
AI VHDL Code Explainer is used to translate VHDL source code into a step-by-step, beginner-friendly explanation of what the design does and how each important entity, architecture, process, and signal assignment works. This tool is completely free to use.
Q2: Is AI VHDL Code Explainer completely free to use?
Yes. AI VHDL Code Explainer is completely free to use.
Q3: Can the AI VHDL Code Explainer explain entities, architectures, and processes?
Yes. AI VHDL Code Explainer can break down entities (ports/generics), architectures, concurrent statements, and processes, and explain how they interact. This tool is completely free to use.
Q4: Does the AI VHDL Code Explainer help me understand signal vs variable usage in VHDL?
Yes. AI VHDL Code Explainer can clarify the difference between signals and variables, where each is typically used, and how assignment timing differs. This tool is completely free to use.
Q5: Can AI VHDL Code Explainer identify common VHDL pitfalls like latch inference or incomplete sensitivity lists?
Yes. AI VHDL Code Explainer can point out common issues such as latch inference, missing signals in sensitivity lists (for VHDL-93 style combinational processes), multiple drivers, and other patterns that may cause simulation/synthesis mismatches. This tool is completely free to use.
Q6: Will AI VHDL Code Explainer explain clocked logic vs combinational logic in my VHDL?
Yes. AI VHDL Code Explainer can distinguish clocked (sequential) logic from combinational logic, explain reset behavior, and describe how rising_edge/falling_edge processes behave. This tool is completely free to use.
Q7: Can the AI VHDL Code Explainer explain numeric types and conversions (std_logic_vector vs unsigned/signed)?
Yes. AI VHDL Code Explainer can explain common numeric type usage (such as unsigned/signed from numeric_std), why conversions are needed, and where type mismatches can occur. This tool is completely free to use.
Q8: Does AI VHDL Code Explainer work with VHDL testbenches too?
Yes. AI VHDL Code Explainer can explain VHDL testbench structure, stimulus processes, clock/reset generation, and common testbench constructs. This tool is completely free to use.
Q9: Can AI VHDL Code Explainer explain component instantiations and generics/port maps?
Yes. AI VHDL Code Explainer can walk through component/entity instantiation, generic maps, port maps, and how parameters affect behavior. This tool is completely free to use.
Q10: Is my VHDL code stored when I use AI VHDL Code Explainer?
AI VHDL Code Explainer is completely free to use, and whether your code is stored depends on the specific site or application hosting the tool. If privacy is important, avoid submitting proprietary code unless the hosting provider clearly states its data-handling policy.
