Question

What do VHDL stand for?

(a) Verilog hardware description language

(b) VHSIC hardware description language

(c) very hardware description language

(d) VMEbus description language

I have been asked this question by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.

My question is taken from Introduction to VHDL in section Specification of Embedded Systems

Answer 1

Right choice is (b) VHSIC hardware description language

The best I can explain: VHDL is the VHSIC(very high speed integrated circuit) hardware description language which was developed by three companies, IBM, Intermetrics and Texas Instruments and the first version of the VHDL is established in the year 1984 and later on the VHDL is standardised by the IEEE.
