In a mixed language design, you can instantiate a Verilog/SV module in a VHDL architecture or a VHDL component in a Verilog/SV module as described in the following subsections.

To ensure that you are correctly matching port types, review the Port Mapping and Supported Port Types.

Instantiating a Verilog Module in a VHDL Design Unit

  1. Declare a VHDL component with the same name and in the same case as the Verilog module that you want to instantiate. For example:
    COMPONENT MY_VHDL_UNIT PORT (
        Q : out STD_ULOGIC;
        D : in  STD_ULOGIC;
        C : in  STD_ULOGIC );
    END COMPONENT;
  2. Use named or positional association to instantiate the Verilog module. For example:
    UUT : MY_VHDL_UNIT PORT MAP(
        Q => O,
        D => I,
        C => CLK);

Instantiating a VHDL Component in a Verilog/SV Design Unit

To instantiate a VHDL component in a Verilog/SV design unit, instantiate the VHDL component as if it were a Verilog/SV module.

For example:

module testbench ;
wire in, clk;
wire out;
FD FD1(
  .Q(Q_OUT),
  .C(CLK);
  .D(A);
);
