PS: I'm glad I haven't had to code VHDL since undergrad. Verilog is so much nicer on the eyes once you're used to it.

The VHDL code provided with this article (“VHDL Code Listing” at www.electronicdesign.com, Drill Deeper 19222) is an example of one way to implement the LED driver in a CPLD.

Support for VHDL will be of particular benefit to customers in European consumer and wireless electronics companies where VHDL is the dominant design language, Calypto said.
