C is a high level language that is compiled into machine language for specific system.
The system implements some sort of state machine that can process the compiled machine language.
In VHDL you have to design the statemachine itself. Furthermore VHDL is compiled into logic primitives that could be built by logic gates which itself could be realized with transistors.
C is a programming language.
VHDL is a hardware description language.
There is not any fullform of verilog.Infact the whole word is called "Verilog HDL" which is "Verilog Hardware Description Language".
CAD means computer aided design. CAD tools are used to design chips virtually on a computer. Programming languages like VHDL, Verilog, System C, Syatem Verilog are used for this purpose. The successful designs of these languages can be fabricated into chips.
No.VHDL stands for VHSIC Hardware Description Language, it is a textual digital hardware design language with a syntax based on the computer programming language Ada. Both Ada and VHDL were developed to meet requirements of the Department of Defense and standardized under IEEE 1076 (which has undergone multiple revisions) - there is a language called Verilog that provides similar features but with a syntax based on the computer programming language CVLSI stands for Very Large Scale Integration, it is the process of creating an integrated circuit (IC) by combining thousands of transistors into a single chip, VLSI began in the 1970s
VHDL is a hardware description language. It describes the functionality of a hardware as a program. If we know the architecture of 8085, the same can be implemented or coded using VHDL.
vhdl-v stands for vhsic...that is very high speed integrated circuit...and hdl means hardware description language Introduction to VHDL Full form :- Very high-speed integrated circuit hardware description language INTRODUCTION: VHDL stands for very high-speed integrated circuit hardware description language. Which is one of the programming language used to model a digital system by dataflow, behavioral and structural style of modeling. This language was first introduced in 1981 for the department of Defense (DoD) under the VHSIC programe. In 1983 IBM, Texas instruments and Intermetrics started to develop this language. In 1985 VHDL 7.2 version was released. In 1987 IEEE standardized the language. http://www.electronicsgyan.com/introvhdl.aspx
They are very much the same, except VHDL syntax is derived from Ada while Verilog syntax is derived from C. ==================================== moreover, VHDL is a system level language whereas verilog is a gate level (circuit level) language. Hence, verilog is easy to learn than VHDL.
VHDL is a system level programming language and Verilog is a circuit level programming language. VHDL can be viewed as a language written in programmer's point of view. In that manner it is better than VHDL. For example, to write a code for a simple combinational circuit, we need to define from the circuit level in Verilog i. e. FET level. But in VHDL, we can directly take several smaller components and combine them to trealize the circuit. That means, one need not have a knowledge of analog circuits to design something in VHDL. He only needs to know the behavior of the desired design.
There is not any fullform of verilog.Infact the whole word is called "Verilog HDL" which is "Verilog Hardware Description Language".
The very basic reason is that Verilog is easy to learn than VHDL. The more important reason is that VHDL is a high level design and Verilog is low level. It means that, in Verilog, the user has got a flexibility of designing from the very basic level. As most of the errors can be rectified at very low level, Verilog is more reliable.
Verilog HDL / VHDL is a hardware description language used to implement a hardware on a computer virtually. It means that we can append all the attributes of a hardware to a computer program and verify as to how it works. But there may be differences in its behavior when it is actually implemented physically. For example, there may be an unexpected time delay. So, it is required to verify the design physically. Hence, we dump this Verilog / VHDL code into an FPGA / CPLD and verify the design physically. In other words, Verilog HDL / VHDL program is used to verify the design on a computer where as FPGA / CPLD implementation is used to verify the design on an IC.

HDL means hardware description language. These are the computer programming languages used to describe hardware. By doing so one can virtually realize hardware and test it. Verilog HDL is one of several hardware description languages available.
VHDL is a hardware description language. XILINX is an EDA tool. EDA tools, electronic design and automation tools, are used to implement the programs like VHDL or Verilog. VHDL has several versions. But all these are standardized by IEEE and they don't belong to XILINX. Several FPGAs and CPLDs are manufactured by XILINX.
There are 4 main differences between C programming and VHDL programming. C is a mid-level language, while VHDL is a hardware description language. C can handle one type of instruction, while VHDL can handle two. C does not require as much resource usage as VHDL. C can be written only with logical thinking, but a VHDL programmer must understand hardware circuits.
CAD means computer aided design. CAD tools are used to design chips virtually on a computer. Programming languages like VHDL, Verilog, System C, Syatem Verilog are used for this purpose. The successful designs of these languages can be fabricated into chips.
VHDL is basically a hardware description language. To describe hardware as a program that can be dumped into a PLD, we use VHDL. It is essential to represent hardware as program so that it can be tested before realizing it physically. If there are any errors, they can be corrected here itself.
VHDL is a text based programming language.
