In this important session, we’re diving into VHDL Structure—how to outline and implement your digital module through Entity and Architecture. This is the foundation of every VHDL design, from basic logic circuits to full FPGA systems.

Key Learning Points
1. Why Structure Matters
VHDL designs represent real digital systems, like an integrated circuit. First, we define its interface—pins, inputs, and outputs—so tools can model and simulate it accurately.

2. Understanding the Entity Block
The entity describes your module’s "shell." It defines the name of the module (e.g., AND_Gate) and declares all input/output ports with their directions and data types. Think of it as mapping out how your module connects to the outside world.

3. Architecture Block Basics
Once the entity specifies the interface, the architecture defines how your module works internally. It holds the actual implementation—logic statements, signal connections, and functionality. Architecture bridges the gap between design intent and behaviour.

4. VHDL File Structure & Editor Usage
Your VHDL code is saved in a .vhd file (like AND_Gate.vhd). You can write it using any text-based editor: Notepad++, ModelSim, or your preferred IDE.

What You’ll Remember After Watching
How an entity defines the outer module structure—name and ports included.
What belongs inside an architecture block—the logical operations and internal behavior.
The basic syntax and important keywords for entity and architecture (entity, is, port, in, out, architecture, of, begin, end).
Why ports must always match your intended design interface—no missing semicolons or incorrect brackets.
The clear separation between interface and implementation—which keeps code maintainable and scalable.
An introduction to how VHDL describes anything from a simple AND gate to large hardware components.

Why This Matters for FPGA and Digital Design
Entity and Architecture are fundamental concepts—your VHDL module won't synthesize or simulate without them. Structuring them correctly ensures your code is readable, reusable, and compatible with FPGA tools.

Even if you’ve worked in other HDLs like Verilog or SystemVerilog, understanding VHDL’s modular structure is key for portability, readability, and collaboration in embedded and hardware design.

What’s Next?
In the upcoming session, we’ll explore general VHDL syntax and declarations you’ve bypassed so far. That will make your designs even richer, flexible, and production-ready. Stay tuned!
